Multi-Axis Label "Funnies"

A couple of small items (possibly related) to look at when you have a chance:

1) If I load a data set, and then apply a preference file that sets multiple axes (independent Y), when I subsequently go to the Text menu to change the labeling on the axes, only a primary Y axis label box appears (the secondary axis box isn't present on the dialog). If I go to Options->Multiple Axes and just hit OK (no changes), then go back to the Text dialog, the secondary axis label box is back again.

2) When I update a secondary y-axis label, if the text includes more characters than the first axis label, not all of the characters in the second label are displayed (as if you're using strlen from axis 1 when processing axis 2 label?). I've noticed this in the same files where item #1 previously occured; I haven't played with this much to see if it happens in other cases.

I think David already fixed #2 in 2.1.2.7:

"Bug fix: On XY plots with multiple Y axes, the second Y label was truncated if longer than the label for the primary Y axis. This bug was introduced with the inclusion of horizontal bar charts in version 2.1.2.5."

#2 is fixed like Jon said, though only in the "Check for Updates" version. #1 I've not noticed before, will look into it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Agreed - I hadn't noticed that 2.1.2.7 was available when I reported; I've updated since and it does indeed fix the string length problem I was looking at. Thanks!
