PLot to pdf/svg: embedded textboxes with default line style get dashed border

Description

If a symbol contains embedded textboxes (admittedly a rare case) and these textboxes have a border with default linestyle, then these border gets falsely plotted as dashed border.

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open schematic:plot_textbox_inside_symbol.zip
  2. notice IC1 contains embedded textboxes with defasult linestyle. These border is drawn as solid line in eeschema. (see picture 1)
  3. File-->Plot--> to pdf/SVG
  4. examine pdf: textbox border is dashed (see picture 2)
  5. examine svgf: textbox border is also dashed (see picture 3) plot_textbox
