pathText - background rectangle bg-rect not displayed

[Burkhard]

Hello,

I'd like to display a background rectangle behind pathtexts along ways.
The supported tags are described in LoMaps Theming .

So this is my rule in the theme XML-file:

<rule e="way" k="highway" v="footway|path|track|bridleway" zoom-min="15">
   <pathText force-draw="1" k="name" dy="25.0dp" font-style="italic" font-size="8dp" fill="#000000" stroke="#FFFF00" stroke-width="1dp" rotate_up="true" bg-rect-fill="#5757FD" bg-rect-stroke="#FFFFFF" bg-rect-over="5.0dp" bg-rect-stroke-width="1.0dp" bg-rect-rounded="1.0dp"/>
</rule>

Problem:
The names are always displayed without any rectangle !!

Any ideas for the cause and a solution?

PS: the same rule with caption works perfect:

<rule e="way" k="highway" v="footway|path|track|bridleway" zoom-min="15">
   <captionforce-draw="1" k="name" dy="25.0dp" font-style="italic" font-size="8dp" fill="#000000" stroke="#FFFF00" stroke-width="1dp" rotate_up="true" bg-rect-fill="#5757FD" bg-rect-stroke="#FFFFFF" bg-rect-over="5.0dp" bg-rect-stroke-width="1.0dp" bg-rect-rounded="1.0dp"/>
</rule>

I believe that the background rectangle is not implemented for path text, despite the manual.

Yes, it seems there a wrong description, now I think so too:

"pathText

    k
    font-family
    font-style
    font-size
    fill
    stroke
    stroke-width
    dx
    dy
    upper-case
    rotate_up
    scale-font-size
    bg-rect-fill
    bg-rect-stroke
    bg-rect-over
    bg-rect-stroke-width
    bg-rect-rounded
"
Thanks John!

Yes, doesn't seem to be implemented for pathText. Tried it some time ago, but forgot about it.
Thanks for confirming. Maybe we should ask Menion to implement it properly?
