Hi, Since the upgrade of the Pango library to 1.52 in Debian/unstable, I'm seeing an annoying bug in gnuplot with the wxt terminal. The issue can be reproduced with the following command:
echo 'set terminal wxt; plot x' | gnuplot -persist A window appears, but it is not drawn and it cannot be deleted by gnuplot. One can destroy it, but the gnuplot process is still running (in background). I can observe this bug with the FVWM window manager, with both manual placement and immediate placement (manual placement can make the problem worse). I don't think that this is a bug in Pango: the commit that introduces the change of behavior does some optimization in threading, which probably makes Pango a bit faster, which triggers a race condition (note that conversely, if I use ssh, even "ssh localhost", this makes the problem disappear). Details in my bug reports: https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2693/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1064982 Can anyone else reproduce this issue, in particular with other window managers? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
