Sourish,

We no longer are updating the 1.3.x releases. Can you reproduce this
problem using 1.4.3?

Hello,
I have been fighting with this problem for some time. It seems that if, on
a plot, I have some text inside a bounding box, it displays fine on the
screen, saves OK as a PNG, but when I save the plot as a PDF the padding on
the right side between the text and the box disappears. I have attached a
minimal example with a text box, but this problem occurs for legends as
well, if the legend text is long-ish. I am also attaching a PNG and a PDF
output, as well as how the PDF shows up on my viewer. Has anyone else
experienced this?
