Hi,

Sure, nothing is drawn, but the cairo_scale(cr,0,0) also put the cairo_t
into an unrecoverable error state.  That's the bug that needs to be
fixed.

For example, try:

  cairo_save (cr);
  cairo_scale (cr, 0, 0);
  cairo_restore (cr);

  /* some cairo drawing here */

The drawing should work normally, but currently it doesn't.

Hope that helps, and have fun with cairo!
