Bug Description

Printing a board with rounded edge cuts (arcs) yields a pdf where the arcs' endpoint do not line up with the adjacent lines. In the attached example, it is all edge cuts.
Gerber files for the attached board is ok.

I tried Debians pdf printer, windows 10, FreePDF. All the same.

All four corners have the same problem to various extents.

Printed PDFs still expose the same problem. The print preview is spot on now.

My PDFs are good now, too.
My bad, I experienced a little version mess-up.

Thanks a lot for fixing.
