Yes, I forgot to mention that I noted this in both tiled and floating
mode. To be a little more specific, the plot is drawn in a JPanel
contained inside a JFrame. Resizing the latter has not effect on the
size of the plot. So the JPanel (to which the ComponentListener is
added) seems not to be notified of the resize event.
