Strange behaviour with tikz

Strange behaviour with tikz

[Eric DÉTREZ]

Hello again

I don't understand a strange thing.

Patterns in tikz become black in some case.

Here is a minimal example :
***************************************
\usemodule[tikz]
\usetikzlibrary[patterns]
\starttext

blabla

\chapter {blabla}

\starttikzpicture
\draw [pattern=north west lines](0,0) rectangle +(1,2);
\stoptikzpicture

\stoptext
*************************************

Without any text before the chapter or without the chapter command I  
see the patterns.
With these commands I just see a black rectangle.

Can I get my patterns back ?

What version of ConTeXt and TikZ are you using?

I first tried your example with TeX Live 2008, and it looked like a
ConTeXt-related problem in TikZ. The patterns only worked on the first
page.

But then I checked with the latest version of both ConTeXt and TikZ
(http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/modules/t-tikz/ - you can
fetch it with rsync)

rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/t-tikz/
place-on-your-computer

And it worked fine.
