Interesting. Are you certain that it was working in rc5? If so, then it's almost certainly related to the visuals as that's the only "real" change in rc6 that could affect this. I hope to have a 2.3.2 beta1 for you guys sometime before we get too fat into October which addresses some of these visuals problems, a very rare crash that I found (and hasn't been reported here) due to a race in TIS, and some great work on Copy&Paste done by George Staplin (please send him all the great praise that he deserves).

Hi,
I have found an issue with X11 2.3.1 and the pgplot graphing library, which is commonly used by Astronomers. The issue I have is the following, utilizing the "qdp" (Quick and Dirty Plotter) tool as an example.
Launching qdp with a sample file works fine.
qdp test.qdp To produce plot, please enter PGPLOT file/type: /xs PLT>
I get a line plot as I would expected (test.qdp consists of 2 columns of numbers). Now when I try to modify the plot on the qdp command line by, for example the command "ma on" (switch from light to point plotting), nothing happens. In fact all changes to I attempt to make to the plot make no difference, the plot in the X11 window remains static.
If I use the "hardcopy" command to create a postscript version of the plot however, the PS version has all the changes applied.
I believe that something in X11 2.3.1 has stopped the X11 PGPLOT window from being refreshed/replotted. As far as I know this problem has been introduced somewhere between 2.3.1rc5 and 2.3.1.
I've confirmed this behaviour on 2 machines running 2.3.1, including running pgplot from a linux box to a Mac via ssh forwarding, to the same effect.
I'll submit a bug.
Thanks,
