In the light curve mean option there is a box with some details of the point under the cursor that appears to the right of that point. At the extreme right of the graph this box runs off the page hiding the info. Is there any option to change the display of this box so it appears to the left when required? I am running Ubuntu 16.04.

Hello Nigel,
That's a very interesting problem you discovered!
Fortunately, there is a workaround. Next time you request a light curve, put a future date in the "To Date:" field, For example, if you are using JD, enter 2459000. After you get the plot, which will be automatically adjusted to just fit the data found, you can force the X-axis extend all the way to what you actually requested by clicking "Preferences" then the "Requested Time Span" check box. If you leave enough blank space to the right of the latest point, you should be able to see the full mean details box.
I hope this helps.
