Zooming issues in interactive terminals

[Lutz M. <lut...@gm...>]

I encountered some issues when trying to use the mouse zoom on data sets 
plotted on logarithmic axes. I have attached a sample data file. When I 
start a new gnuplot session, and plot the data using

set log x; set log y; plot "test.dat" u 1:2 w lp

and then try to zoom into the top right corner of the plot, there is a good 
chance that I get an error message along the lines of

gnuplot> set xr[2645923.77833:105299864.051]; set 
yr[525542494246:2.96579249916e+13]; set x2r[ 6.42110: 8.02058]; set y2r[ 
11.3442: 12.9336]
                                                     ^
         integer overflow; change to floating point

I observed this in both the X11 and the wxt terminals, using gnuplot 4.2.3 
on a linux box. Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?

Thanks,

 Lutz
