Hi Peter,

This is a known bug of graphic export... and for now there is no bug fix
possible. You need probably to wait for 5.4.x versions...

A crappy workaround (not tested) could be to export several parts of the
final graphic in SVG and to superpose the different layers in a software
like Inkscape, finally you can export it into pdf.

Best regards,

Calixte
