Description Ben Lewis 2015-04-24 10:46:36 UTC
If an axis label contains a string variable and the data file is changed the string variable must be updated, as expected, to point to the new file. However, after updating the string variable it does not display when closing and reopening the Kst file. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new Kst session
2. Use the data wizard to import a data file
3. Edit an axis label on a plot. Set it to the file name (type "[" to bring up a list of available strings to choose from and select "file name").
4. Change the data file with a compatible source using the "Change Data File" tool.
5. Edit the same axis label as before to point it to the file name of the new file. As before use the "[" character to bring up a list of available strings.
6. Save the Kst session, close and reopen the file.
7. The axis label is gone even though it is still pointing to the correct file.

Actual Results:  
The axis label disappears.

Expected Results:  
The axis label should be displayed.
