Oh, yes, 2.15.9 changes stem's length.

2.15.8 and below did not change it.

2.15.8 and below changed grob's _extent_, but not appearance. It was good. For
some/other grobs there are (a lot of?) places in the docs, when it's suggested
to set 'Y-extent to (-inf.0 . +inf.0) for some purposes. If I can remember.
Or to set in to (0 . 0) to make grob "to have no extent". But it didn't change
grob's appearance.


Sorry my jumping in though. Very probably, I've missed something important.
