[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#554191: octave3.2: Plot window "dies" with fontsize 14 when using an axis label with a superscript construct.

[Kristjan Onu]

Package: octave3.2
Version: 3.2.3-1
Severity: normal


When I run the file attached. The plot window closes unexpectedly due to the command on line 12. I can avoid this problem by not setting the fontsize to 14 (13 & 15 are OK), or by avoiding the "^2" construct. For example replacing line 12 with ylabel("y"), I see no problem.
