Just to add one more test: this "fix" works on fedora 14, and I am sure,Yes. I even did the bisecting twice because I couldn't believe that this could be the changset that caused it.

Absolutely, this can't be the fix. But when I run with valgrind with and without the above change, nothing obvious about uninitialized memory pops up. However, there are some messages related to fontconfig (I think) in both cases. I'll check again and try to send details later. on other Fedora releases. It is obviously important to discover why this has the effect that it does. The real problem likely has (not good) effects elsewhere. Sadly, I do not really know where to start to help with this. Very mysterious. The fontconfig item may be relevant. I notice when I run the legend test without the "fix" the plot window "flickers" which could suggest that the legend is being drawn, but without the text which got lost due to a font error. Pure speculation on my part. Michael |
