Multi-line text instances differing in linespacing not rendered correctly #7523
Description
- matplotlib 1.5.3 (pip install)
- python 2.7.6 (apt-get from ubuntu repository)
- ubuntu 14.04
- goal: display 2-line texts which differ by linespacing.
- issue: when the text instances have the same parameters (coordinates, text string, alpha) except for the linespacing, the second one is displayed over the first one. The linespacing of the first instance is used for the second instance as well.
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')

text_string = 'line1\nline2'

plt.text(x2, y2, text_string, linespacing = spacing2, alpha = 0.5)
