[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48718] plot command clobbers axis "position" property with "hold on"

[Rik]

Update of bug #48718 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: Wrong plot under some conditions => plot command
clobbers axis "position" property with "hold on"

Follow-up Comment #5:

This is really odd, and ugly.  Something is clobbering the "position" property
of the axes.

Try this test code:


close all
ylabel "y-axis";
hold on
pos1 = get (gca, "position")
plot((1:2), (1:2)*1e-4)
pos2 = get (gca, "position")
set (gca, "position", pos1);


When I run it I get the following.


pos1 =

   0.13000   0.11000   0.77500   0.81500

pos2 =

   1.3000e-01   3.5531e+12   7.7500e-01  -7.1061e+12


Not only is the y-position of the axes a huge 3.5e12, but the height is a
negative number.  That is just impossible.

The plot looks normal to me after I restore the previously saved position
property with the final set command.
