#2391 set label in a multiplot generates same label on each iterarion

[Roge]

sample code that generates the strange behavior,

set label 1 "label" at screen 0.5, screen 0.5
set multiplot layout 10,4
do for[i=1:40]{sin (x)}

The code prints the label during every iteration, you can notice the label bold and blurry. I would expect the label to be printed once since it is outside the loop. Is this a bug or I am using the software wrong?

I would expect the label to be printed once since it is outside the loop.

That expectation is wrong, because the label is not outside the loop. You misunderstood what "set label" actually does: it tells gnuplot that all subsequent plots shall have this label, until it's turned off again.
