[Therion] Area working in file but not in overall

[Andrew Atkinson]

Thanks, Marco and I have had some attempts at solving this off the list,
it works fine for him, both on the individual file and the overall. I
have a few more things to work through.  In the mean time, I can easily
solve it by redrawing the area, so something somewhere is not quiet right.

I did try removing my layout completely, and therefore reverting to the
default, but got the same result, sand for the single file, but not overall

A very hard to trace bug.
