Lisa,

If I appear skeptical, please forgive me. I'm growing older
every day and this kind of code:

> set_plot,'WIN'
> If !D.NAME EQ 'WIN' then begin
> device,get_decomposed = currentDecomp
> device,decomposed = currentDecomp
> endif

gives me the shivers. :-)

I'm going to contend that there is nothing
wrong with your draw widget or with the IDL
Plot command. Rather, I think there is something
in your environment that is decidedly NOT the
same between your IDL 5.4 and IDL 5.5 sessions.

I'm going to risk all and bet you have set a
!P.POSITION system variable inadvertently in
your IDL 5.5 session. :-)

Cheers,

David
