Details:

Find below an example that illustrates my findings.

There are also two other observations but I don't provide code for it. (i) The

'latex' value in the 'interpreter' property of the text
function doesn't work either in my case. (ii) If I don't set the 'units'
property is plots the text; however, the y-labels are offset to the left in my
1x5 subplot.
  
All this wasn't a problem in version 3.2.4 on my system.
(MinGW, Win XP ver, 2002, SP3, Intel Core2Duo, T9400).

EXAMPLE CODE:



% plot some data
x=[1 2 3]';
y=sin(x);
plot(x,y)

% add text to the plot; this works...
text(1.5,0.9,'hallo')

figure
plot(x,y)
% ...this works, too
text(1.5,0.9,'hallo')
text(0.5,0.5,'hallo','units','normalized')

% ... and here comes the bug:
figure
plot(x,y)
% ... because now the data disappear after executing the 
% text command
text(0.5,0.5,'hallo','units','normalized')
