Pdf is not correctly rendered at the first build #12

Closed asc84 closed 4 years ago

asc84 commented 4 years ago

I'm on Windows 10 and I use: XeTeX 3.14159265-2.6-0.999991 (TeX Live 2019/W32TeX) kpathsea version 6.3.1

When I do the first: $ xelatex template.tex Then the PDF is not correctly rendered, there is a small grey box at the top of both pages, but the left sidebar is not grey. When I run that command again one or max. two times, then it gets fixed.

Please find attached the log from such a bad run and a the generated wrong pdf file. template.log template.pdf

Otherwise I like your template and I would like to use it, but it would be to be able to build it properly.

Additional info: I found latexmk and if I build with it, then if fixes the issue. So maybe this is only a documentation issue of README.md, to tell the user to build with: $ latexmk -pdf -xelatex template.tex or its lualatex equivalent.

Hi. Thank you for submitting this bug incl. the log. It should be the same issue as in #5 . I will try to investigate this during my next long train journey.

Anyways, I will add the latexmk line to the readme since that's what I also use in my setup and it seems to work on recent Windows, too. (In fact, I didn't even realize, that there is latexmk for Windows :wink:)

I finally had some spare time to investigate this bug. The misplaced sidebar originates in a shortcoming (nested TikZ pictures) in the background package I use to place the sidebar. Funny enough, this package was actually used to workaround another already known TikZ bug. However, I replaced background with the eso-pic package in commit b3b6edd43c. The template should now compile as expected on first run with all compilers (pdflatex, xelatex and lualatex).

Closes #5.
