[MM: moved the important part of the script up here:] plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="abcde") # has a y label plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="abcdefghi") # no label That is amazing. I don't see a problem here (Linux Fedora F24, or F26, in both case using GNOME as windowing system), also with this, both interactive or pdf : plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="abcdefghi or even quite an order of magnitude longer") pdf("long-ylab.pdf") plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="abcdefghi or even quite an order of magnitude longer") dev.off(); system("evince long-ylab.pdf &") I have no further idea but guess this must be specific to your platform. Did you try the same thing with R 3.4.1? Did you install both in the same way -- from the sources ?? Best, Martin > Here is the script of a job. A pdf graph is fine.
