Massive "number" histogram while switching between displays #15

Closed phet-steele closed 8 years ago

phet-steele commented 8 years ago

The "number" histogram display option auto-scales the y-axis to a max of 20 while it is used. However, switching to another option and back loses this auto-scaling, resulting in a massive graph filling the screen (when many balls have been dropped). @veillette this is a bug present in the Flash version (called the "legacy" version) that was tested on Win 10 browsers.

Before switching: smallnumber

Switching options, then back to "number": bignumber

Just to be clear, the bug present here is not that the bars go off scale when "number" is selected ( I recall @dubson sharing that the bars going off the chart is a feature of this sim, not a bug.), but that when "number" is selected, it seems to be auto-scaling when it shouldn't.

Thanks @phet-steele for the info. We have reviewed the flash simulation pretty extensively
