Bug Description
Here are links to two image files created from almost identical schematics (an extra text string has been added to one of them, so they're not _quite_ the same). They were made by using eeschema's 'plot' function, thus creating postscript, and then reprocessing the postscript into PNG form.
With the current nightly build: https:/
With an earlier build (probably from a few months ago): http://
You'll see that in the older build there are lots of oval shapes with numbers inside them.
In the current build, all of the numbers inside the oval shapes have disappeared. The number is simply a text string that has explicitly been placed inside the schematic symbol within the symbol editor.
Here's a link to the design files: https:/
In the design files, I think you should be able to see the oval shape symbols within the file module-cache.lib. (The particular symbols are called ConnectorA1-100 and ConnectorA1-200, each of which is a multipart symbol with 71 different parts. The text strings in the center of the ovals are "101", "102", etc. for ConnectorA1-100 parts A, B, etc., and "201", "202", etc. for ConnectorA1-200 parts A, B, etc.)

@Ron, are you still seeing this?
I created a new schematic with your module_cache.lib and dropped in a couple of ovals. I plotted to Postscript, and then opened it on my Mac. That runs some Apple program to convert to PDF and then displays it in Preview. The numbers appear within the ovals.
