Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Strange issue with package ot-tableau

[latexnoob2022]

I have been trying to implement a table using a package for linguistics called `ot-tableau`. The package seems to have serious issues with horizontal lines, but I am not sure what's going on. This issue was also flagged by a few fellow academics to me offline:

An MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article} %%%%article adds section name in header

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{textcomp}

\usepackage[notipa, shadedcells]{ot-tableau}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\usepackage{linguex}

\begin{document}

\vspace{-6pt}
\hspace{.38in}
\begin{tableau}{c|c:c|c|c|}
\inp{\ips{CV\textsuperscript{$\mu\mu$}}} \const*{\textsc{Wt-ID}/V\textsubscript{\textsc{strong}}} \const*{\textsc{SyllSize}} \const*{*$\mu$|\textsc{ons}\textsubscript{\textsc{[simplex]}}} \const*{WBP[\textsc{ons}]}
\cand*{CV} \vio{*!} \vio{} \vio{} \vio{*}
\cand*{CV\textsuperscript{$\mu$}} \vio{*!} \vio{} \vio{} \vio{*}
\cand*{C\textsuperscript{$\mu$}V\textsuperscript{$\mu\mu$}} \vio{} \vio{*!} \vio{*!} \vio{}
\cand*[\Optimal]{CV\textsuperscript{$\mu\mu$}} \vio{} \vio{} \vio{} \vio{*}
\end{tableau}

\end{document}

When I run this code on my local LaTeX build, I get the following output, with horizontal lines going over the tables (see local.png, row-1).

However, when I run the same code on Overleaf, the table is rendered correctly (see overleaf.png)).

My fellow academics have the opposite issue (their PDF has missing horizontal lines when built on Overleaf) and we are unable to troubleshoot this on our own. We think the issue may be related to changes to `hhline` package, but we do not know for sure.

Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, the issue depends on package versions, but not on the version of hhline but ot-tableau. With old ot-tableau indeed hhline is used. But with an up-to-date ot-tableau 2021-05-19 by default hhline is not used any longer. But if you would add option usehhline to force using hhline, the issue would come back (in a slightly different manner).

So I would suggest to update your local TeX distribution (and avoid using option usehhline).
