Martin;
I can't solve your problem, but may I suggest that you try following
your Plot statement with an Options[%,"option name"] statement, which will
lisst the option assignments as Mathematica actually creates them. I have a
similar problem with the following Show[] statement. Notice how the output
for the Options[] call shows that Mathematica (in this case, 3.0.2) inserts
a PlotStyle->Automatic assignment after my manual assignment, which cancels
out some of my assignments (at least that's what I think it did), and
resulted in a plot with default tick thicknesses (not what I wanted).
Show[{cdPlot,flPlot,combFitPlot},Frame->{True,True,False,False},
FrameLabel->{"M Urea","Delta-G0 (kCal/Mol)"},
FrameStyle->{{Thickness[.003 ],FrameTicks->Thickness[.002 ]},{
Thickness[.003 ],FrameTicks->Thickness[.002 ]}},
DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction ]
Options[%,FrameStyle]
{FrameStyle
\[Rule]{{Thickness[0.003],FrameTicks\[Rule]Thickness[0.002]},{
Thickness[0.003],FrameTicks\[Rule]Thickness[0.002]}},
FrameStyle\[Rule]Automatic}
So, perhaps the Options statement will reveal what Mathematica is up to, in
your case, as well.
