Re: Version 5.2 release candidate -rc3

When testing the obsolete pm3d contrib awk scripts on my demo data, I have 
found a bug in 5.2 vs 5.0 and 4.*. Try this:

set pm3d map; splot x*x-y*y

In 5.2, the key "x*x-y*y" is shown above the map.
In 4.* and 5.0, the key "x*x-y*y" is not shown (actually, it is drawn
below the plot).
The key makes no sense for the plot (there is no colour line there), so it is 
recommended to hide the key.

The problem is due to:
current:
     key is ON, position: top right vertical fixed
5.2:
     key is ON, position: top right vertical inside

Note that the key positioning is bad (overlaped with plot) also
for the use of the contour map:
     set view map; set contour; splot x*x-y*y
so that "key fixed" does not help.


I think the "inside" should mean "inside" for "plot" as well
as for "splot map". Otherwise "mapped splots" are not compatible
with current gnuplot neither with
     plot '3d.dat' with image


Is it possible to fix the meaning of the new "fixed" keyword?
