TikZ library 'calligraphy' and 'paths.ortho' doesn't work together

Question

From question and answer in Using color with braces employing the TikZ calligraphy library I learned about library calligraphy. From test about it use I observe two things:

• the library 'calligraphy' had to be loaded after library decorations.pathreplacing,
• if you use it together with library paths.ortho some of options in drawing of lines lost its function (without warning or errors, just don't appear):

An example:

\documentclass[tikz,border=10pt,multi]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,decorations.pathreplacing,calligraphy}
\usetikzlibrary{paths.ortho}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[<->]  (0,1.5) -- + (3,0);
\draw[|->]  (0,1.0) -- + (3,0);
\draw[|-|]  (0,0.5) -- + (3,0);
\draw[{Bar[]}-{Bar[]}]  (0,0) -- + (3,0);
    %

\draw[decorate,
      decoration={calligraphic brace, mirror,
      pre =moveto, pre  length=1pt,
      post=moveto, post length=1pt,
      raise=3pt, amplitude=6pt},
      thick, pen colour={red}]  (0,0) -- (3,0);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

As you can see, bar ends on third line are not presented. How to resolve this (minor) problem?

Answer 1

Firstly, this is nothing to do with the calligraphy package. I get the same behaviour from the following MWE:

\documentclass{article}
%\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/315739/86}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{paths.ortho}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[<->]  (0,1.5) -- + (3,0);
\draw[|->]  (0,1.0) -- + (3,0);
\draw[|-|]  (0,0.5) -- + (3,0);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I don't know why it is happening, because I don't know anything about the paths.ortho package. But I can fix it with some judicious braces:

\documentclass{article}
%\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/315739/86}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{paths.ortho}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[<->]  (0,1.5) -- + (3,0);
\draw[|->]  (0,1.0) -- + (3,0);
\draw[{|}-{|}]  (0,0.5) -- + (3,0);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

So I can only assume that the option |-| means something special for the paths.ortho package and it is picking up on that first before the arrow syntax gets a look at it. Knowing how arrows are interpreted (i.e. quite late in the key parsing), this is not all that surprising.
