This is a tricky one. It appears this bug also exists in 0.91.x,
perhaps earlier as well, so it isn't a regression.
I don't like the idea of setting the minimum to "1", especially for when
the scale isn't log. Setting it to a really small positive value (like
1e-9) is better, but the autoscaling of the log plot then goes down to
1e-9 as well.
Do any other developers have better suggestions? We may have to do some
magic in at drawing time (or convince the autoscaler to ignore the stem
lines) -- but I'd like to find a way that minimizes additional complexity.
Cheers,
Mike
