BUG | do_FeaturePlot | The legend titles are not displayed anymore

[frac2738]

It has been a while that do_FeaturePlot has a strange behaviour. The legend title is not displayed anymore.

library(SCpubr)
options("SCpubr.ColorPaletteEnds" = TRUE)

exp_Integrated <- readRDS(...)
do_FeaturePlot(exp_Integrated, c("nFeature_RNA","nCount_RNA"), legend.position = "right", 
                            use_viridis = TRUE, viridis.palette = "D",viridis.direction = -1)

The code above returns a figure without the legend title

This make difficult to know which one is which. Of course I know that the left is "nFeature_RNA" and the right is "nCount_RNA", but this can be problematic when the figures are shared.

So far a workaround is to add the title to the single plots and then combine them together

u1 <- do_FeaturePlot(exp_Integrated, "nFeature_RNA", use_viridis = TRUE, viridis.palette = "D",viridis.direction = -1) + ggtitle("nFeature")
u2 <- do_FeaturePlot(exp_Integrated, "nCount_RNA", use_viridis = TRUE, viridis.palette = "D",viridis.direction = -1)+ggtitle("nCount")
u1|u2

I tried to re-install SCpubr multiple times, but nothing has changed. I don't think this is an intended behaviour...is that correct?
