Package: gnuplot Version: 4.6.0-8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
now and then gnuplot seems to fail to store the command in its history, so I can't recall it by ^P or up-arrow or any history command. In my typical use, I recall previous command, make an edit and push <enter>. It usually works fine, but sometimes gnuplots fails to remember the command, so on next recall, I instead get a previous (what I did 2 command lines ago). When it start, gnuplot insists on not remembering that same command line, while it happily remembers other command lines in between, whether I retype it manually, or recall it from history way back. The following is a snapshot of gnuplot history: 635 wx=0;w=12;t=t2;h=800;load "plot1" 636 wx=0;w=12;t=t2;h=800;load "plot1" 637 wx=0;w=12;t=t2;h=800;load "plot1" 638 wx=0;w=8;t=t2;h=800;load "plot1" 639 wx=0;w=8;t=6000;h=800;load "plot1" 640 wx=0;w=8;t=6000;h=800;load "plot1" Here I actually tried a callback form #639, to reuse #638, but that didn't work, so I retyped #638, which is not seen in the history. Then I used recall (up-arrow) from a earlier command (way up), which it remembered as #639. Then I tried again by retyping #638, which also did not go into the history, and #640 is a subsequent recall of #639. When it happens, that command line cannot be entered into the history, if I add two spaces to the bigging it gets remembered. It happens often enough to be a bother, but not often enough to be a nuisance :-) and I haven't worked out a more detailed case pattern. Possibly it has something to do with that the line first is by a recall where I deleted the first few characters (up to a semicolon). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing'), (1000, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnuplot depends on: ii gnuplot-x11 [gnuplot-nox] 4.6.0-8 gnuplot recommends no packages.
