A problem has arisen after upgrading to 6.1 - the scale labels sometimes appear as, for example, "0.9999999983", instead of simply "1". This happens even though I'm setting everything to a whole number in the dialog box. Problem occurs sporadically, but then won't go away, even if I change the axis min and max values.
The problem has to do with the divide by factor which can be set on the Tick Labels tab of the Axis dialog. If this was ever used this can cause round off errors. This value was stored internally as a float whereas the other values were stored as a double.
To clean things up 1. set the Divide By Factor to 1 2. set all the From/To/Inc/BreakFrom/BreakTo/BreakInc to some new values, as Origin needs to know the values have really changed. 3. Change those From/To values back to original
The problem will be fixed but projects created in earlier versions will still need to be cleaned up by following the steps above.
