I have a simple 2D scatter plot. If I add a data label a point, move the label and then modify it in any way, it disappears. If I modify it without moving it, it doesn't disappear. But then any modifications made after moving it again make it disappear again.

For example.
1. Create a new file, then copy and paste the data below in.
16:29:58 1.02
2. Add a marker style to the curve.
3. Right click on the data point and "Add $X,$Y Label".
4. Move the label to a new position
5. Double click on the label and modify it (e.g. change the text, remove the frame)
After clicking OK, the label disappears. Sometimes if I know where it's supposed to be I can drag it and it will reappear. But further changes make it disappear again.

I'm using DPlot Version 2.3.5.3.

Good catch. At first glance it appears the Point Labels dialog is not interpreting time values for the label location correctly. And in playing with this just a bit, it appears to only be fouling up if the X axis number format is "Time of day (fractional days)". It works fine with "Time of day (hours)"

I assumed it was something specific to those settings because I had never seen the issue before. Now that I know about it I can work around it easily enough.
