[Scilab-users] xtitle seems to suppress plot

[Jens Simon Strom]

My workaround is to allow Scilab a little nap:

xdel();
cf=figure("immediate_drawing",'off', 'visible','off','background',8);
plot(1:2)
cf.immediate_drawing="on";  cf.visible="on";
sleep(100)//<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
xtitle('xtitle() suppresses plot content when not delayed by sleep(). Ver. 5.5.2, my Win 10, 64 bit')

Does this make sense under a deeper understanding of Scilab, regarding 
also that the very first  execution (after start of Scilab) is proper 
without 'sleep'?

Cheers
Jens
