In the following plot, the y label is missing if it is too long. x11(type="Xlib") plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="Do, a deer, a female deer") # missing label plot(1:5, 1:5, ylab="Do") # label is present All is well for x11(type="cairo") This is true both under R devel 2017-09-01 on xubuntu (my desktop), and 3.4.1 on Centos 6.9 (department servers). A minor question is why my locally compiled version defaults to Xlib rather than cairo, since both work as explicit arguments to the x11() command. Terry T.

Family matters have kept me away, I'm finally coming back to this thread. In summary, this is an issue with a particular workstation, not with R. Graphics with X11(type="Xlib") have a y label problem when displayed on this particular box, whether using R locally or from a server via ssh -X. The same server's output is fine on another machine in the department. I remain mildly curious as to why, but not enough to dig in since X11(type='cairo') displays without issue. I first noticed this in R-devel which prompted my "bug report". Sorry for the noise and thanks for the responses which pointed me in the right direction. Terry T.
