I changed tag to "drain" and filed request for render. After
sufficient wait, found same result. Then just to counter check, I
tagged it as "footway". Requested for render.

suggest that footway has been rendered. But area fill is still there.
Is it possible some old data is being taken up by renderer, but not
visible to editor.

Please help me to render this drain as drain (linear object).

With regards,
