I think the id is the problem with your pattern, it shouldn't start with the `#` character. See http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/jzy1unsv/239/.

Have you tried using `pattern-fill-v2.js`? I just committed an implementation of a background color (fill). The opacity can be set in the colors themselves (using rgba color format).

A potential fix is to add the `chart.index` to the id internally, but then we lose the feature to style the patterns by CSS as the DOM id changes. They...

Printing to PDF looks bad too. It looks like the browser rasterizes the patterns. While the other parts of the chart are vectorized and razor sharp, the patterns are pixelated...

Actually nothing happens on either of the columns unless we drag on the rifled handle, even though the cursor indicates otherwise. Perhaps we should do something about the cursor. Also...
