Example picture showing poor quality and missing lines in exported EPS

I used LibreOffice Draw for the sole purpose of making high quality block diagrams, exporting them as EPS, and using them as figures in LaTeX documents (sometimes with TexMaths objects). Recently, the exported EPS files have been poor quality and erroneneous: lines are missing for no reason and some objects (particularly the TexMaths objects) have extremely poor, pixelated quality. Compressing these image object with JPG format was a functioning workaround sometimes, but it is tedious and unreliable. Draw became useless to me because pf that.

Is see the degredation in the lettering of the EPS. But, is that simply in the TIFF preview embedded into the EPS?

Also, can not tell, are you embedding OLE from the Formula editor? Or are you lettering everything directly on the Draw canvas with text box.

Would be helpful if you attach a Draw document and resulting EPS in addition to the screen clip so we can have a closer look at each and then attempt to reproduce.

@Gregor -- still an issue on more current releases of LibreOffice? 

Please supply additional details and requested test file so we can confirm issue and identify a cause.
