Thanks for the extra info. I'm running not-so-recent CVS on linux.

         G N U P L O T
         Version 4.7 patchlevel 0    last modified 2012-10-16
         Build System: Linux i686

I just tested and space bar does not trigger in the way you indicate on 
this build. It does behave as I described earlier: Space then Enter 
triggers two iterations, not one. Both happen after hitting Enter.
