Bug#767224: scilab: Empty plot window when calling plot()

[Nico Rikken]

Package: scilab
Version: 5.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I recently updated my Debian install to Debian Testing (coming from Debian Stable) and I ran a scilab script which ran fine on my previous install. The script contains a couple of plot() functions at the end preceded by figure() functions. No errors or warnings are given in the Scilab console. The plot() functions are just plot(x,y) without specific options.

The /var/log/messages caused by replicating the plot() command seem to indicate problems concerning OpenGL:
