No you misunderstood. The problem is that the ylabel is not printed
rotated by 90 degrees, but simply horizontally, and *this* should be
fixed with either one of these patches.

The fact that the relative positioning changes if you change the graph
window's size is inherent to the way gnuplot works. To fix this you'd
have to change the design of how gnuplot handles text output, and
that's not the topic of this patch.
The bug about that I reported in a differnet thread is that it at the
moment the positioning is wrong even for the initial graph window -
and that is fixed with the proposed patch in the respective thread.
Changing the graph window size manually will still distort the whole
plot (not only the relative positioning of the text).
