Thanks for the bug report, I noticed that myself.. its probably not the
cairo-code, rather the underlying patches. First possibly culprit I'll
check is the reworked place code.

I suspect there are a few redraws / invalidate calls missing somewhere,
as I'm seeing occasional graphic artifacts left by text. There is
somewhat of a bug in this, that with the cairo rendered text, the exact
extents on screen depends on the GUI, not libgeda.. thus the region
which should be invalidated doesn't match what we ask for. That this
hasn't been a problem with the code so far, since the font tend to be
smaller than libgeda expects.

Can we take future bug reports / technical discussions on geda-dev, to
spare the many users on this list who may not be interested in the new
code.

Best wishes, and thanks for the feedback.
