Possible setobslabel bug on unstructured pages
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2020 12:37 am
Hi,
I recently came across the following unpredictable behavior. I am plotting every fourth observation (bar chart) and would like to set the labels for these observations. On a quarterly page, I can set the first, fifth, etc label and get the desired plot. If the page is unstructured, it instead sets every second label.
Here is a small reproducible example:
Here is the output. Note that lab5 is differently placed.
I am using Standard Edition, Jun 15 2020 build, Eviews 11. I believe that this behavior was absent earlier this spring (maybe March or April), so it might have been introduced in one of the recent patches.
