This:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \fill[pattern=horizontal lines] (0,0) -- (2,2) to[out=90,in=180] (4,5) -- (7,5) -- (7,0) -- cycle;
  \fill[pattern=north east lines] (0,0) -- (2,2) to[out=0,in=270] (4,5) -- (0,5) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

produces this: bad pattern fill

The "north east lines" pattern spills out to the right of the path it's supposed to be filling, which is definitely not what I want. What am I doing wrong?

I can't replicate this on MikTeX 2.9, pdflatex, TikZ CVS version, Sumatra and Acrobat. Might be a viewer issue – percusse Mar 3 at 13:25
Oh, weird. I think you're right that it might be a viewer issue. I see the overflow in evince, but not with xpdf. – uckelman Mar 3 at 13:31

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

This appears to be a rendering bug in poppler, since xpdf renders the diagram correctly. I've reported this as Bug 61737 at https://bugs.freedesktop.org.
