Unwanted Horizontal Lines Appears when using cv2.putText()

3.2.0.7 uses OpenCV 3.2.0 release which was published in December 2016. Those lines you are having are a bug in that version. The bug was fixed in opencv/opencv#7959 during this year. There has not been a new OpenCV release yet, and I'm not sure if I'm willing to patch single bugs in this repo. Bumping the release of this package to some unknown and untested commit in the OpenCV repo is also a bit risky and might introduce new bugs.

It is definetely up to you and I don't want to influence on your decision process.
However, the issue seems to be induce by ininitialised variables in OpenCV and the fix have been merged and have pass the CI tests ... So the fix will be in the next release. You can decide to fix this bug, which appear everytime OpenCV try to draw a line / write text. Or you can decide to wait for next release ;)

Have a good day mate and thanks for the help,

I'm going to wait for the next release. I hope that the OpenCV guys get some minor bug fix release (3.2.x) out at some point. Thanks for the report, I'll follow the situation.

No problem, I came back to opencv-python==3.1.0.5, for now it solves this problem ;)
Waiting for the next release.

Thanks a lot,

Jonathan

This bug should be now fixed since the latest release matches now OpenCV 3.3.0. The builds should be available in PyPI during the next ~5 hours.
