Hi Jens. 

Thanks for those insights. Perhaps ironically (perhaps not), I don't
encounter the problem when I put the axes on a log-scale. 

Is MP-graph being actively maintained? Is this something that I could
push to get fixed?

(It *is* something I can work around in this particular application, I
think, but it would be nice if it worked in a predictable manner.)

Cheers,
adam
