I can't confirm either. Since pure 2D figures are now (in 4.3+) drawn without depth sorting, this bug is not likely to happen anymore (in 3D this is another story). I'll close this report as fixed.

@Dan: can you file another bug report about the behavior you observe when resizing the window very small?

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.

I generates a plot with QT including a legend:

>> graphics_toolkit()

ans = qt

>> plot(randn(1,20))
>> legend('Normal')
>> title 'QT'


The label 'Normal' is hidden beyond the box of the legend (file 1). If I resize the window to a minimum height, I can see the label being overdrawn by the legend box (file 2).

I can generate the same result by using FLTK. You can see them in files 3 and 4:

>> graphics_toolkit fltk
>> figure
>> plot(randn(1,20))
>> legend('Normal')
>> title 'FLTK'


But using GNU plot, the legend is rendered correctly.

QT version : 1:4.8.7-18.fc25
FLTK version: 1.3.3-8.fc25
