(1) When you click on a point in a plot, a window appears listing data for that point. Often the cursor blocks the top line of this window. Could you add a blank line to the top of this window so the cursor doesn't block any important data?
(2) Could you prevent job names from ending with blanks, /, or \ characters? I have tried automatically fishing results out of the resultant tar files using Matlab, but Matlab has given trouble when the job names end with blanks. I'd imagine job names with / or \ in them could cause similar problems.
