Hello As you said, the behavior is quite strange. You also said that '>PS also the first release candidate of 4.4 has the same problem gp440rc1_win.zip' The distribution gp440rc1_win.zip is not provided by me. Therefore the problem you pointed out is a general problem to be discussed in the gnuplot ML. ********** BTW, Hmmm, I cannot find link on the http://gnuplot.info/ to the page for subscription to gnu...@li.... Oh! I found it after I have searched from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/ :-) Here is a subscribe page to subscribe to gnu...@li... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gnuplot-beta I have found the above here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/support. *********** Anyway I appreciate your tests and reports. Your report is very important for gnuplot on windows.
