LO Draw circles still have two additional points in exported PDF and EPS files

I’m very much interested in getting the following problem resolved:

LO Draw circles have two additional points in exported .pdf-files

Hey ho! Now I have a problem for what I don’t find a solution. In short: I draw a circle, export the .odg file with LibreOffice Draw to a uncompressed .pdf-file and get two additional points. They are on the upper left and on the bottom right of an imaginary boundingbox. These dots are very very small, but even printed with a low quality inkjetprinter (and also with a good laserprinter) they are still visible. I tried my best, but I can not remove them! And they are also around circle pointe…

I am not sure why the topic got closed because the problem still persists in the newest LibreOffice Version 6.0.5.2 (x64).

The problem is the following: You draw a circle and export as PDF. When open in certain PDF viewers, each circle will have two unwanted dots on the outmost points of its bounding box. See the following picture of a PDF opened in Firefox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit)

The issue also persists when I export as EPS and use that file in LaTeX to create a PDF. The fact that the problem does not occur in most PDF viewers is not a solution because I want my documents to look good in all common viewers. Please fix this issue because I wasted close to 20 hours of my life with placing white polygons to cover these dots.

Thank you!
