Right. It's known bug. There's already a comment in the source code
regarding this issue. But feel free to fill a bug report on
bugzilla.gnome.org.

I'm working on adding fill support for xy and polar plots, and faced the
same issue: how to close the fill area ? I've choosen to add a combo box
and let the user select either bottom, top, y-origin, left, right,
x-origin in the xy plot case and center, origin, edge for the polar plot
case. A similar solution could work for the drop lines. The relationship
between the axis line position and the drop line origin is not that
strong.

Sure, but to the question when, I have no idea...
