WxWidgets have made a change which I presume has exposed a bug in our code (or maybe there is a bug in their code, but I think that's less likely). @Laurent: Oops! Sorry for misreading your post. @Phil and Laurent: My comment about git bisect still stands, but in this case the idea would be to find the first WxWidgets commit that generates bad results for PLplot. Of course, that means for each bisect iteration you would be rebuilding both WxWidgets and PLplot, but bisection is terrifically efficient so you would likely end up doing those builds less than 10 times. Once you know that WxWidgets commit that generates the issue for the first time, then you might be able to tell a lot more from the associated commit message to help you figure out whether this is a WxWidgets bug, a WxWidgets change that exposes a PLplot bug, or deliberate or accidental WxWidgets API breakage (e.g., changing the semantics of one or more WxWidgets function arguments). Anyhow, good luck on this hunt for the cause of the issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
