Deaktivating "for plotting" (German "plottbar") while editing properties of a layer seems to change nothing. I expected, that in print preview (SVG, PDF) these layers are deaktivatet too.
Deaktivating in these cases make sense as when real plotting.

This is intended behavior.
The property does not affect the print preview, only the actual print out. This has to do with compatibility with other CAD products which interpret the non-plottable flag in the same way (not plottable layers are visible in layout blocks).
A user preference might be provided in the future to configure this behavior.
