[BioC] Gviz: plotTracks with GeneRegionTrack

[Hahne, Florian]

This should be fixed now int the latest devel version 1.1.15. I did find a
related bug that prevented connecting lines of grouped track items to be
plotted when zoomed in all the way between the two connected features.
This should work now, too.
