#1708 multiplot - left boundary

[Anonymous]

Continuation of http://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1707/

it seems that the left boundary of multiplot cannot be moved using either scale or offset

MWE:
set term png size 512, 512
set out "test2.png"
set size square

set multiplot layout 2,2 scale 1.2
plot x
plot x
plot x
plot x

Why would scale change the left boundary?
Positive offset works here for me.
I can confirm the earlier report that negative offsets do not work as expected.
