xmgrace 5.1.22 is several years old. Version 5.1.24 is the latest version from earlier this year, according to
http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/. I'm not an xmgrace maintainer or developer, but I use xmgrace (within Mageia 4) in my research. The version in Mageia
grace-5.1.22-11.mga4 grace-devel-5.1.22-11.mga4
is too buggy for me, so I have compiled the newer version from source which works fine. Just thought whoever maintains that package in all recent versions of mageia might wish to update for other users. I will try to submit a "bug report" but this is more of an update request. I don't know what all bugs were fixed.
