plot range blocking interactive zoom

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

someone may tell me this is a feature but it seems anomalous.

if I specify a range in the plot command , interactive zoom feature is 
unable to change the zoom view.

Even if I manually rest xrange I cannot zoom it.

plot [-4:16] datafile ....
show all
         set xrange [ * : * ] noreverse nowriteback  # (currently 
[-4.00000:16.0000] )


I now select a rectangle to zoom in wxt. Y zooms X remains unchanged. 
However, if I look at the variables my interaction has set xr , it is 
just not respected in the display.

show all
         set xrange [ -0.914620 : 5.53985 ] noreverse nowriteback

Equally setting xr from the prompt has not effect, a refresh does not 
change the display. Contrariwise, setting yr is effective.,

Unless there's some subtlety I'm missing this seems like a bug.

I'm running cvs from a couple of weeks back, but I noticed this 6-12m 
ago . I was never sure why it was happening so did not report.
