PyPlot does not display x and y coordinates #552

Currently I have three issues with PyPlot:

1. it does not show the cursor position. In the upper right corner it just says x= and y= but no numbers
2. if I zoom in the ticks and numbers on the axes disappear (I mean, the original ticks and number stay, but if I zoom in such to an area where there were no ticks and numbers in the first place no new ticks and numbers appear; this is different compared to Matplotlib in Python
3. error messages on the console like:

XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2

Any idea?
