Issue Details

I´m using Windows 10 Enterprise with LabVIEW Professional 2015 SP1 f7, and whenever I make any font/size change to plot legend element in my front panel, all the elements are affected. Giving more clarity as follows:
  • If you create a new vi, new graph, and select the graph label, you can edit its size by ctrl+/-, only the graph label changes.
  • If you enable show scale legend, select it and change its size with ctrl+/-, only the scale legend changes.
  • However, if you enable plot legend, then select it and change its size with ctrl+/-, all the elements are affected.
 
 

Solution

This behavior is a known bug (2348208) for LabVIEW 8.6 and later versions.

You can workaround this behavior by following these instructions:
1. Highlight only the text in the plot legend.

2. Do ctrl +/-.

The action mentioned above, will only affect the plot legend text instead of all Waveform Graph elements.
