Description Edgar Ibsen 2006-11-16 00:15:16 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When "log" graph type is selected for the y-axis, the graph breaks if I attempt to enter 0.5 for the "Major ticks". But 1 (the minimum) is too large for me. Would be a very good idea to have *some* kind of sub-10x ticking I think...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use any data set
2. Select "line" plot (normal is fine)
3. Change the y-axis type to "log"
4. Untick "Major Ticks" and change to 0.5

Actual results:
Either the axis itself is broken, or the whole graph is broken, depending on your data set size (I think).


Expected results:
I would expect the y-axis increment to go up by *sqrt(10) each time.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Another useful step would be =LOG(2,10).  That would have the effect of
using base 2, not 10.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
