Thank you for looking into this. I am not explicitly setting any
position parameters in my plots. Most of them are code examples that
have been running for at least a year without issue.

I did test another couple platforms. It works properly on Windows and
MacOS but fails on every Linux I've tried. This is the process I'm
using:

1. Launch Octave in GUI mode
2. Go to Command Window
3. Type the following:
   > x=linspace(-3,3)
   > subplot(2,1,1)  % This command fails immediately on Linux
   > plot(x, sin(x))

Under all the Linux versions that I've tried (Ubuntu, Mint 19.02,
CentOS) and with both the Flatpak, Snap and normal installations by
the default package repos (Apt, RPM, etc), they all fail.

I started digging through the libraries.  The subplot.m files are the
same between the 5.2.0 and 5.1.0 so I'm thinking it's something
outside of this specific library.
