[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52389] Legend labels are hidden beyond the legend box when using QT or FLTK

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52389 (project octave):

I don't see that behavior here with 4.3.0+, so this may have been fixed some
time ago, i.e., can't confirm.

However, in testing your example, I've found that Qt has a bug in which
shrinking the figure window small (like in your plot 4.png) then expanding
messes up the plot boundaries so that the axes are magnified drastically.  See
the attached example.

It looks as though FLTK has its window size forced to a minimum that won't
allow such a situation to arise.  I recall gnuplot terminals having similar
problems too (nothing to do with Octave).  Rather than digging into the issue,
programmers for gnuplot also have gone the route of ensuring a minimum window
size, i.e., avoid the situation.
