Obviously there is an easy workaround - change the zorder of the patch. But I think you are highlighting a bug to a feature that is not behaving as you expect. Are you able to provide a SSCCE to help speed up the process?

Thanks for your quick response. I'll try to reproduce this with a simple example.

The zorder of the hatch is 100 while the zorder of the errorbar is 1000. I tried playing around a bit with the zorders but couldn't get the errorbar bars on top of the hatch.

@ndawe Does this still exist with 1.3 you? I think this should have been fixed by PR #1628

@tacaswell, I will check

@ndawe I am going to go ahead and close this. If this problem still exists say something and it can be reopened.
