Page Layout ⇒ flowfram: border color missing

[mrclock]

Hello,

I have a problem with the flowfram package, which I haven't been able to resolve yet on my own.

When I create a flow frame with a colored border, only the left and the upper borders have the correct color, the lower and the right borders are black. This happens only on the first page, on all subsequent pages the colors of all four borders are correct.

my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{flowfram}

\newflowframe*{10cm}{15cm}{25pt}{25pt}[main]
\setallflowframes{border=plain, bordercolor=red}

\begin{document}
only left and upper border are red, lower and right border are black

\framebreak
all 4 borders are red
\end{document}

Can anyone reproduce this effect or is this a problem with my installation?

Thanks in advance

I can reproduce the same effect, but I'm stumped as to what's causing it. I've filed it as a bug and will try to track down the problem.

Thank you for the quick reply. At least I know that it's not my fault. Nevertheless flowfram is a great package.

Here's a workaround that uses tikz instead of \fbox:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{flowfram}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newcommand{\redborder}[1]{\tikz \node[draw,rectangle,red] {#1};}

\newflowframe*{10cm}{15cm}{25pt}{25pt}[main]
\setallflowframes{border=redborder}

\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}
