I was told by another user that on MacOSX, in LV8.2 feeding a value to the ''Legend: Plots shown'' property leads to an Error 1000, but in LV8.5 the values are accepted correctly for both increasing and decreasing values as well. 
So the WIndows vesion is behaving differently ?

If memory serves me, prior to LabVIEW 8.5, resizing the plot legend on
a stacked plot was not possible at run-time.  Attempting to set the
property node resulted in an error #1000 ("This
vi is not in a state compatible with this operation").  In LabVIEW 8.5,
it appears that someone (in LabVIEW R&D) attempted to enable this ability.  After the
ability was released, it was obvious that in many situations, this
operation would crash LabVIEW, most likely because of some memory
allocation problem. 

It looks like who ever investigated the crash in LabVIEW 8.5 found the
crash was not a trivial fix.  Because the problem was not simple, they
reverted the behavior of the property node to the pre-8.5 behavior,
(not possible to complete at run-time). 

I can only assume that with more time, R&D will continue to
investigate this crash and hopefully give us the abiltiy in the future
to resize the legend on a stacked plot. I know this is a feature that
has been requested in the past.  If you agree that this feature needs
to be enabled in LabVIEW, you can provide your feedback directly to
R&amp;D via a product suggestion in the <a href="http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?OpenForm" target="_blank">Product Suggestion Center</a>.

Hey Ben, This won't be easy for you to take, but as of Monday I too have moved into Marketing, for PCI and PXI DAQ, so we won't be chatting on the phones anymore.Good luck in the future with DSC, FieldPoint and getting to 10,000 posts :smileyvery-happy:
