Annotation layout behaviour in 6.1.0-beta

Hi all,

I have noticed what looks like a change in behavior from 6.0 to 6.1 in terms
of how annotations (plot objects added with gsn_add_annotation) that fall
outside the base plot object bounding box get rendered on calling
'maximize_output' at the end. Plot examples such as "annotate_6.ncl" note
that the automatic resizing to fit the resulting plot into the view frame
only works for ps/pdf output. Using NCL 6.1.0-beta (standard download
binaries on OSX 10.6.8), this no longer works! The plot is not resized/moved
and "out of frame" annotations disappear off the side of the view frame.
Oddly, plotting to X11 still works. Can anyone confirm this on other
platforms/configurations? If this is not a bug, then it should at least be
mentioned in the examples, as quite a few of them rely on this behavior.

Is there a workaround that anyone could recommend? I am tending toward
trying a paneling approach for placing plot objects next to each other, as
my usage scenario is fine with equal-sized and spaced plot objects.

Cheers,

Jakob
