Comment(by annakrat):

 Replying to [comment:12 cmbarton]:
 > 1) If border or background color is enabled but a color is not
 explicitly set, it raises the error of 'ps.map exited with a 1' (NB: this
 is a really useless error).

 I cannot reproduce this error, do you talk about map info or text?

 > 2) If a background color or border color is set for a text object it
 seems to show up in the preview and final output pdf.

 I fixed the background color of text in draft mode. I tried to draw the
 text border in draft mode but it kept disappearing. I couldn't find the
 problem so I left it without it. Maybe a tooltip or a static label could
 inform user that not all features are visible in draft mode (like text
 highlight).

 > 3) If a background color or border color is set of a map info object, it
 may or may not show up in preview and output. I've yet to come up with a
 sequence of steps that make this happen or not.
 The color in draft mode is always blue and it has no other meaning. In
 preview mapinfo background color depends on its position, see #192
