The documentation and the demos on gnuplot's webpage indicate that the mouse-tracking box in a canvas plot should appear on the bottom of the plot.

However, when I create such a plot myself, I see the box on the left of the plot. Furthermore, the grid button does not work, and I see a button with sort of a double "A" that is not there in the demos.

Here is a screenshot that shows what I see: https://i.imgur.com/7DHeg9A.png

To reproduce (I'm using gnuplot 5.4), run these commands:

set term canvas mousing
set output 'test.html'
plot sin(x)
set output

and then open 'test.html' in a web browser.

Does anyone know what is happening here, and how can I obtain plots as shown on the demos and described in the documentation?
