Bug#770189: gnuplot-qt error

[Patrick Meehan]

Package: gnuplot-qt
Version: 4.6.6-1
Severity: important

Hello,
         When using gnuplot-qt from within Maxima CAS (using Debian
Testing, AMD64) it proceeds to lock up when resizing the gnuplot window in
order to increase its size. I have 2 PCs and both display the same problem.
The plot itself is produced with no problems. [G]nuplot locks up when
attempting to resize. When killing the gnuplot window, gnuplot is still
running in the background using 100% of a CPU core. A 'kill 9' signal is
needed to terminate the process. Below is the Maxima code I used, when I
first ran into this problem - it is a derivative of the Clifford Attractor.


load("dynamics");
a:1.40;
b:1.56;
c:1.40;
d:-6.56;
f:d*sin(a*x)-sin(b*y);
g:c*cos(a*x)+cos(b*y);
evolution2d([f, g], [x, y], [0, 0], 150000, [style, dots], [color, red],
[legend, "The One Ring"]);

I am using a Fluxbox window manager environment on both of my PCs. I have
subsequently replaced gnuplot-qt with gnuplot-x11 and this runs with no
problems.



                               Best Regards,
                                                    Patrick Meehan.
