Presently, I'm not able to build the developers sources (I haven't  
attempted a build for several days, I'll try now), but I recall that  
it is possible patch Octave to display the colorbar properly for Aqua  
(I assume the same would work for windows).

If my memory is correct, all that is needed is to change the limits  
for the colorbar's short axis by a factor of 2. I do not recall if a  
problem existed for the vertical axis, but if it does I'd expect it  
necessary change to be proportional to the length of the color map.
