Hi, David, Yeah, I normally use Epilog to do such annotations, but this was a one-off plot, so I tried the interactive way. I'll see what I can do (on Windows and Linux) later today, and report whether it's reproduceable. I absolutely prefer the programmatic way of labeling things; still, Wolfram should fix this! Best wishes, Curtis O.
