All,

Thanks for the ideas.  Unfortunately none of the ideas revealed the
extranous line that ended up in the pdf file.  I like the idea of the
Navigator, but as is, it is worthless.  What needs to happen is that
when an object is clicked in Navigator, it is selected in the editor so
it can be seen.  A description would also be nice (name if available,
shape, location, size).

Of course there is also the possibility that the pdf conversion process
is flawed and that the extranous line does not really exist.

Dave,

I did a drawing using Draw, then exported to PDF. The PDF had some 
extraneous objects in it, so I was trying to figure out where they 
came from. The first step is to see if there are any objects that 
are hidden (behind something else, or a color the same as the 
background, etc.) in the source drawing. How do I do that? Select 
All doesn't seem to help.

Perhaps;
1.  create a copy of the file
2.  rename the file-ending from .ods to .zip
3.  open with an archive-manager (on Gnu&Linux you might be able to 
skip step 2 but if not then just double-clicking on the .zip should open it)
4.  inside the zipfile is a folder called something like "images".
5.  open each image in turn until you find the bad ones and delete them

But these are (presumably) Draw objects, not images.
