Yes, it's minor. I suppose Qt gets priority, but right now FLTK looks to be the nicer of the OpenGL toolkits; my impression anyway.

As an aside and regarding what you mentioned on discussion list, I do notice, though, that zoom(gcf,'off') and zoom(gcf,'on') toggle the Z+ and Z- buttons on the Qt toolkit. So, zooming seems tied to a figure, hence the legend should not have any kind of zoom property. When it comes to zooming then, the legend should act as if it is invisible and pass the action on to its parent, if things are set up that way.

I noticed this a while back as well. It's probably some default button being assigned. I'll make the severity minor since at some point we probably discontinue FLTK and go with Qt anyways.

Try the following:

This is a 2-D plot. Without clicking anywhere within the plot, notice that the 'R' button at the bottom of the window is solid, i.e., it can be selected. If one were to click somewhere within the plot, the 'R' button turns grey and is deactivated. (If you've just done this, rerun the above script to create a new window.) However, if one were to click 'R' as the first action when the button is still active, the plot will become rotate-able. I don't know if that is desired for 2-D plots, but regardless this is quirky behavior that should be changed--either deactivate the button right away or do not deactivate the button at all.
