Thanks Ronn,

Fiddling with the drawing order seems to make the axes visible.
I no longer consider this a bug. Instead, I consider it to be
_two_ bugs.

Here's why:

(1) A transparent object should not make another object invisible
regardless of their relative drawing order. In a 3D scene, visibility
should be determined primarily by distance from the viewing plane.

(2) I said "fiddling with" rather than "changing" because setting

(p.axes)[1].order, /send_to_back

makes both the y and z axes visible, but subsequently setting

(p.axes)[2].order, /send_to_back

makes them both invisible again! There's some weird interaction that,
though possibly explicable, seems more bug-like than desirable to me.

Once again, thanks very much for giving me a solution I can use.

TTFN,

David
