*** Note to BNR follow-ups: this is also going outside of BNR. ***

This may be old news, but it hasn't been an issue for me until now.
Start with a simple worksheet with some numbers on it and create a
chart from those numbers.  Now draw a few arrows, lines, etc. on
top of this chart to point out some details.

The problem arises when you print preview or print it - the lines
and things that you have drawn have shifted and changed size.

The ReadMe file doesn't mention anything, so is there a 4.0a or
some such fix that solves this problem?  This is happening on
fairly vanilla IIcx's and IIci's with LaserWriter IINTX's.
System is 7.0 with tune-up (i.e., 7.0.1 System/7.1.1 LaserWriter).
