Position error of imported pictures since version 7

Schematic
1

Hi there

Since I have not found a respective topic here I post a my problem. I use KiCad since a long time. Last intensively used version is 6. I often import jpg-pictures in the schematic and draw some wires to illustrate connections. This has beenn displayed and printed correctly.

I updated to version 7 lately and converted the kicad files in the new format by saving them. All works well on the screen. But on the print preview the pictures are not shown. On the paper printouts the pictures are shiftet by round 5 mm to the right and 5 mm down.

Is there any configuration value to be corrected or is this an error? Any solution or walkarounds?

Thanks in advance and kind regards from Switzerland

Bug. Try to use the latest v7 version, some parts touching the printing system have already been fixed.
If the issue remains you have to open a new bugreport on gitlab.

Any solution or walkarounds?

Use the File–>Plot function to produce a PDF-file, then print the pdf file.
