Color doesn't show up when saved as eps or pdf

ROOT

Dear Root experts,

I currently have a problem that when I save my Canvas I don’t reproduce what I see on the screen unless I save it as a giff, jpeg or png. Maybe that issue is known and a quick work around can be provided?

please see code below in order to reproduce the problem

With ROOT 5.34/25 and the following macro I get the attached output.

ok thanks,

that also works with the root version I am using and the problem is this line

pave->SetFillStyle(1);

so when I comment this out everything is fine I just don’t know why it causes problems

cheers Michael
