I am unfortunately not able reproduce this.
Which version of Gnuplot is this? I have:
$ gnuplot --version
gnuplot 5.4 patchlevel 4
Does the title become visible if you make the window larger?
How about if you change the font face? This is what I have as my
default:
$ gnuplot -e 'show term'
terminal type is qt 0 font "Sans,9"
My guess is that something might be wrong with the font metrics which
ends up clipping the title. You can set both the font and size in
`~/.gnuplot` as:
set term qt \
size 1024,1024 \
font "Courier,16"
so that it does not clutter your scripts.
Finally, would adding newlines to the title be a suitable workaround?
`Text::Wrap` or `Text::Format` could be used to do this automatically.
