I found a bug earlier that I haven't yet got around to reporting or
trying to fix. Just confirmed that it's still an issue with this new
build. Would you mind taking a look before this release becomes
official?

The bug: autoscaling of plots with any logscale axes doesn't work on a
replot. For instance, the attached script produces reasonable
autoscaling initially, but after a "replot", it is broken. This is
significant because everyone using a tiling window manager ends up
replotting at least once before looking at any plot.

I vaguely recall a discussion at some point in the past where we talked
about the "replot" command just recalling the axis extents from the
initial plot command if it is sure the data hasn't changed (which is
true for inline data, such as here). Should we do that?

Thanks.
