Hi everyone,

on all of the machines I tested with I got the following behaviour, so I consider this a bug in Origin:

Create a graph (line, point,...) with x- and y-axis, where both of the columns used as x and y have a longname and a unit in the column header. Let origin create a legend.

In the default, the legend is diplayed with longname and unit. The axis titles are set to %(?X) and %(?Y) and displayed as the longname of the column.

Go to the Plot Details to the tab called 'Legends/Titles'.
'Translation Mode of %(1) %(2)' is normally set to Longname&Unit.

As soon as I switch the translation mode to 'longname', the unit is no longer displayed in the legend, but suddenly appears in the y-axis' title.

Even if the checkbox for 'Show Units (when available) for Auto Axis Titles, %(?X) %(?Y)' is unchecked!

If I check that checkbox, the unit also appears on the x-axis.

Workaround
Set the translation mode to 'user defined', and just enter @LL into the field. Then everything works as it should.

Bug
I would have thought that the unit is only displayed on the y-axis, if the checkbox is checked. No matter what the setting for the legend is.

Thanks,
Johannes
