Hi John, I solved the bug. In my application I have several threads. One of the threads updates the graph on a timer and another gets data from the application in order to plot. The thread updating the limits was based on data coming from the application. As I stated this is a two part process where the first part is setting the limits and the second is redrawing the graph (followed by updating the background). The problem is when the thread loses control between these two stages. In this case the background is updated to the old limits although the 'real' limits remain the updated version. The solution is to use a lock to ensure that everything is done atomically. This results in the desired behaviour. IOW it was completely my fault although an interesting bug:)
