Hi Nick,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately it doesn't help.  The
problem seems to occur when new.replot() is called after chartSeries()
(NO underscore)

Here is a new RPub to demostrate the same issue.

http://rpubs.com/gsee/chart_Series_knit2

And the markdown for that is:

Zeroing in on chart_Series issue
========================================================

```{r message=FALSE}
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("SPY", src='yahoo')
```
This looks fine
----

```{r figwidth=7, fig.height=6}
chartSeries(SPY)
```

This looks wrong
----

```{r}
cs <- new.replot()
```
