With the latest build (ubuntu ppa, Compiled on: Feb 19 2016) hatching preview does not work. Further issue that the hatching function does not work at all with rectilinear shape (e.g. a simple rectangle) The error message: Invalid hatch area. Please check that the entities chosen form one or more closed contours.
It's a known side effect of the current fix for:

Hopefully dxli is working on an alternative.

First, disabled snap on hatch: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/490c468064daf67c4f26cde9abee1dffac1d3c67
A fix for hatch preview:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/e22c2cc14a4dea0b63ffac37602243a6d17cef71
Still not sure why it was broken.
Antal Veres:
I don't have access to ubuntu ppa. Do you want to help?
I just thought you have some kind of relationship whith this ppa.
Is the patch mentioned above in the latest build (Compiled on: Feb 24 2016)? Because the hatch and the preview are not working.
Maybe the same issue: when I open a drawing containing hatch the hatch is invisible (not by the layer).
The problem was fixed, reintroduced and then fixed again.
Try again soon.

Was the second fix for the hatch preview and rectangle problem.

Ubuntu 14.04 from ppa, Compiled on: Mar 15 2016. : hatching working, but preview is not.
Another issue: when I open a drawing made by an earlier version of LC, hatching is not visible.
Please note the version from the About window.
For me the hatch preview works with the latest code.
This is with the latest package: http://betabagoly.hu/temp/screen.png
