Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.5 SR1
Operating System: Win 7 x64


I created a set of stacked graphs, which look fine. When I try to print them (to PDF), the center graph is completely incorrect in size and location, ruining everything. I normally print graphs to PDF, and they always come out fine - this is the first time something like this has happened.

Any idea what's causing this?


Here are some screenshots:

Dear Bstrap,

Maybe instead of printing (using a PDF printer driver), you can try to export the graph in the PDF format ("File: Export Graphs" menu)?

Okay, this is definitely a bug, because I just figured it out.

Creating the stacked graph doesn't do it, because if I print to PDF after that, it comes out just fine.

As you can tell, I changed the line colors of each of the graphs. Well, I think when you exit that dialog box, something about the last graph whose properties were edited is internally selected. If I print to PDF right after changing the colors, the last graph I changed has that problem on the output.

*However*, if - after coming out of that dialog box - I click on any empty space first, and *then* print to PDF, it now comes out just fine.

Try to restart the PC because I encountered that kind of problem too. After restart it prints clearly.
