It does not happen on Windows (MinGW and Cygwin)

Is this behaviour observed before or after the commit below?

I observe the same behaviors on gnuplot-5.4.2 from the Ubuntu distro.
I observe the same behaviors on gnuplot-5.2.8 (built from source)

  The question is whether this is related to, and possibly fixed by, the commit from last week that also was reported specifically for Ubuntu + wxt.
  
  It is curious that Ubuntu suffers from this bug (or bugs) but other linux distros do not.

Please ignore my previous question. That commit was bad, and broke wxt plot toggling.
I will have to revert it and look elsewhere for problems.

It is hard for me to debug this because I cannot reproduce the problem on my linux machines.

I confirmed on Ubutu 22.04 on the WSL and native machine. In the weekend, I will try to install other Linux distro like Debain on on the WSL.

I tested on the latest snapshot for gnuplot-dev.
Results were the same as before.

I installed Debian 12 on the WSL. The same behaviors as those in Ubunutu happened in the Debian 12.

I installed OpenSuSE 15.4 on the WSL2. Plot on the wxt terminal works as expected.
Problem seems to be specific to the Debian and Ubuntu at the moment.

  Could this be a problem with the Gnome desktop focus policy, rather than a problem with gnuplot itself?
  
  You could test this by logging in to a session using Xfce instead of Gnome on the same Ubuntu machine.

    I failed to install Xfce to my Ubuntu PC. Instead I dually installed Xubuntu 22.04.
    If I use Xubuntu, the wxt terminal works as expected.
    Perhaps your suggestion is right.
    I consider that I post this issue to the Ubuntu forums.

      I found this suggested work-around:

      https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942570
      
      $ GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./gnuplot
      
      Does that work for you?

        Thanks! That works! I'll wait for the bug for Wayland will be fixed. Meanwhile I will use GDK_BACKEND=x11 for the wxt terminal on Ubunutu (or Debian).
