I just attempted to reproduce your problem with 0.98.3 and couldn't; I managed to get identical screenshots after closing the window and replotting. Several things you could tell us that might help isolate the problem: - What GUI backend? TkAgg I'm assuming? If you're unsure, import matplotlib and use the matplotlib.get_backend() function. - What plotting commands are you using? - Does the aspect ratio change if you do something simple like, say, import numpy from pylab import * x = numpy.randn(50,50) imshow(x) (close window) imshow(x) import numpy from pylab import * x = numpy.arange(1,10) plot(x, x**2) (close window) plot(x,x**2) Neither of these lead to an aspect ratio shift for me, on OS X 10.5 with the TkAgg backend, same version of matplotlib.
