Description

If you run this program in DrRacket(in Windows), where #:legend-anchor is a string

#lang racket
(require plot)

(plot (points '((1 2) (3 4)))
      #:legend-anchor "Hello")  ; <-- wrong type 

you get a graphic. But if you move the mouse over the graphic it opens the console with an error

 plot-legend-anchor: contract violation
  expected: (or/c (quote auto) [...])
  given: "Hello"
  in: the parameter of
      (parameter/c  (or/c 'auto [...]) any/c)
  contract from: <pkgs>/plot-lib/plot/private/common/parameters.rkt
  blaming: <pkgs>/plot-gui-lib/plot/private/gui/snip.rkt

Research direction

Reproduce the DrRacket example on Windows, then inspect plot/private/common/parameters.rkt and plot/private/gui/snip.rkt, the files named in the contract error. Start by tracing when #:legend-anchor is validated during mouse interaction. Done should be defined by the invalid value no longer causing an unexpected console error while interacting with the plot.
