typst: `hide` function does not work with lines and paths

Description

#set page(height: auto, width: auto, margin: 0pt)
#set text(size: 2em)

#hide[
  This is some text

  #table(rows: 2, columns: 2)[a][b][c][d]
]

This is more text

This should hide all content before “this is more text”, but here is the result:

Is this desired behavior?

I feels like hide should be redesigned.

@Enter-tainer I’ve pushed https://github.com/typst/typst/commit/50741209a8f4c5e91d35281eb44b7425b3d022b2, which should make things at least a bit more robust. The link & hide metadata is now applied in a few select places where styles are already manually managed (flow, par, math) and not for each content leaf individually (line, polygon, image, text, etc.)

The hide function also does not work with images:
#hide(image("myimage.svg"))
still shows the image
Which typst version are you using? This is not reproduceable in latest main and v0.10.0

Ah, it tested it again, and it turns out: It hides it if the aspect ratio of the image is unchanged, but #hide(image(width: 5cm, height: 1cm, "myimage.svg")) prevents the hiding, I just left that out to make the example above easier but that is apparently relevant. 😅

I’ve updated the comment above and attached the svg (I’m using v0.10.0 btw)

Definitely. I just don’t know how. 😕
