Hi David:

I suggest you make a self-contained example that demonstrates the
issue in the simplest way possible.  Such simplified test examples are
really worthwhile since they normally help you to find the bug in your
own code or if there is no such bug make it much easier to debug
external library code such as that from PLplot or wxwidgets.  Also if
it turns out the bug is not in your own code such a simplified example
should be easy for PLplot developers to build with CMake and run on
various platforms to see whether the issue shows up on all platforms.
For example, I would be willing to help with such a test on the Linux
platform.

Good luck with implementing this suggested simplified example, and let
us know how it goes.

Alan
