I agree with you there. I actually checked the documentation for any information regarding this odd behaviour and couldn't find any. I do see where you're coming from though.
All we really need is some sort of self-scaling graph so that instead of continually extending itself, it just redraws itself every now and then in a smaller size. I'll probably need to write some sort of graphing plugin so that I can include the results of the test in my final report for work anyway. If I do end up doing this, I'll release the graphing plugin so that other people can use it too. Thanks for the heads up, Drew Peter Lin wrote: > > there's actually a good reason for it.
