When VisIt creates a Curve plot using the results of a query over time, the Curve plot is placed in a vis window designated for Curve plots. If there is no vis window into which the Curve plot can be added, VisIt creates a new vis window to contain the Curve plot. If you want VisIt to always place the new Curve plot in a specific window, turn off the Use 1st unused window or create new one check box and enter a new window number into the Window# text field. After setting these options, subsequent Curve plots created by querying over time will be added to the specified vis window.
