[Rd] legend() in a multiple figure environment

[Simone Giannerini]

Dear all,

there seems to be a problem with displayed legends when a multiple
figure environment is used, see the following example:

par(mfrow=c(1,2))
curve(dnorm,col=4,from=-4,to=4);
legend(-4,0.3,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4)
legend(-4,0.2,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4)


On my machines the first time the command legend() is issued the
legend box stretches over the curve. Subsequent calls to legend seems
to produce a correct box instead.

I see this on the same version of R on Windows VISTA 32 bit as well; I
do not see this behaviour on a machine with R 2.8.0.

Thank you,

Simone
