    I've been running gnuplot for years and it worked great. I just installed the newest version of stable ubuntu and gnuplot broke. I don't know what version my old gnuplot was but it is now 5.4 patchlevel 2. I had Y labels on both sides. Now my right label has disappeared. I haven't changed any gnuplot commands.

    My gnuplot only has the ".set y2label" command, and not any other label command. I don't know how it worked but labels appeared on both sides. It's weird that I only had the right side command and now that is the broken one. I've tried adding ".set ylabel".

    Can someone give me an idea of how to fix this? I'd be happy to go to an older version like 4.6 but I couldn't find a linux installer for 4.x. Would I have to build it?

    I was able to downgrade to 4.6 by building it. Everything now works fine. Should I put in a bug report? If so, how would I do that?
