R devel - May 2019 - Bug in function boxplot's axis labeling

Dear developeRs,

I appreciate that boxplot now labels the axes with variable names per 
default. However, with argument "horizontal=TRUE" (which I always
use),
the default axis labels are mixed up, as can e.g. be seen with

require(boot)
boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE)

The correct labels would be obtained by

boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE, xlab="time",
ylab="poison")

Best, Ulrike

Yes, indeed.  Thank you, Ulrike, belatedly.

I've committed a corresponding change to R-devel yesterday, svn r 75503,
and will port that to   "R 3.6.0 patched" (so it will make it into R
3.6.1
and all newer versions) in a day or so.

Best,
Martin
