Automatically turn off autoscaling when user edits a scale max or min

[DavidBoyd]

This is one small usability issue I'd love to see fixed.

My "end users" are frequently other engineers in the lab.  I've watched them stumble over this countless times (and I do it too).  A graph/chart y-axis is set to autoscale, which isn't readily apparent if looking at a signal which is repetitive and stable.  The user double-clicks on the top or bottom scale value and types in a new value, intending to zoom in on a portion of the trace for a closer look... and autoscale immediately changes it back with the next point plotted.  Ooops, right-click, uncheck autoscale on the axis, try again.

Can anyone give me an example where editing a scale max or min value SHOULDN'T imply that autoscaling be disabled?

Chris, none of the search results that the IE offered up matched.  I blame the computer
