IDL 8, log plots and titles [message #73119]

Am I missing something, or is IDL 8 fumbling logarithmic y axes and
plot titles when using the new plot function?

When plotting log plots, the plot title seems to vanish, and also IDL
does not seem to be able to calculate the y range properly. In the
sample code below, compare the direct graphics output (which handles
the range and title correctly automatically) to the new plot function
output which doesn't seem to be able to figure out what I want:

----------------------------------------
x=findgen(100)/100*3*!pi
y=sin(x)

;This is what I expect; yaxis handles infinite log range and title
appears correctly
plot,x,y,/ylog,title='Direct Graphics Yrange and Title'

;Now for the plot function output:
;title works for linear y axes
p1=plot(x,y,yrange=[0.1,1],title='Linear Y Axis
Works',window_title='Linear Y Axis Works')
;title gone for log plots
p2=plot(x,y,/ylog,yrange=[0.1,1],title='Title Error Log Y
Axis',window_title='Title Error Log Y Axis')
;if you set the yrange, the title appears, but in the wrong place
p3=plot(x,(y+2)*10,/ylog,yrange=[1,100],title='Title Error Log Y
Axis',window_title='Title Error Log Y Axis')
;if you don't set the yrange, the title is gone
p4=plot(x,(y+2)*10,/ylog,title='Title Error Log Y
Axis',window_title='Title Error Log Y Axis')
----------------------------------------

Any ideas?
