Of course, undo/redo operation before each gerber generation can not be
a valid solution :-)

For me it seems that a MoveObject(+1,+0,nm) followed by a MoveObject(-1,
+0,nm) also suppressed that bug. And I think that these operations
really should not change the internal ordering of what ever (undo/redo
may do). It is really an interesting bug. Unfortunately I have currently
not the time to really investigate the source code...

I have seen the patch of Robert Drehmel, but he has not given a fine
explanation WHY it works, so I can not consider that patch really a
solution.

Also an interesting observation!
