pause -1 and lost plots

I have seen these zombie Qt processes recently. I was seeing this happen when the gnuplot process was not killed. I finally have a way to consistently reproduce the problem. Below are the steps required to get the zombie process. GNUTERM should be set to 'qt'. pgrep -l gnuplot_qt (verify no processes) gnuplot qt_zombie.gp (see below) After plots are displayed, press q (quit) in window 1 Press q in window 2. This returns to the command prompt. pgrep -l gnuplot_qt (should show a zombie process) If...

Well after trying many things. Removed all my Xdefauls. I narrowed it down to an interaction with the "noreplotonresize" option. I then tried the Qt terminal. The plot was as expected, but a resize caused the plot to be redrawn as a single plot. ./gnuplot -noreplotonresize script.foo What I don't understand is that I was not resizing the X11 window. Is this the desired behavior? Should anything be added to the multiplot help in the documentation about these types of interactions? Just close this...

Here is some more info below. I just tried a completely new build, same problem. I attached the output from 4.6.5 and 5.2.5. $ uname -a Linux centos7 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 16:42:41 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ ./configure --prefix=/home/suttonmw/tmp/ztmp1 $ make $ cd src $ pwd /home/suttonmw/tmp/gnuplot-5.2.5/src $ setenv GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR `pwd` $ echo $GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR /home/suttonmw/tmp/gnuplot-5.2.5/src/ $ ./gnuplot script.foo

unexpected behavior between multiplot and pause for X11
