single fontconfig thread introduces an issue in gnuplot
Commit 89442dae introduces the following issue in gnuplot: https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2693/
In short, to reproduce it with FVWM's ManualPlacement and the wxt terminal:
echo 'plot x' | GNUTERM=wxt gnuplot -persist
which gives a window that is never drawn (I get the contents that are actually behind the window) and cannot be destroyed from gnuplot.
Note: the use of this command via ssh
or the use of strace
on the gnuplot
command makes the problem disappear. So this seems to be due to a race condition.
I don't know whether this is actually a bug in gnuplot or in Pango. So I'm opening this issue in case someone has some information.
