That is a poorly phrased original string.

A better wording might be: "Trim 0.5% from both ends of the histogram, and stretch the remainder".
Comment 2 Paolo Bacchilega 2016-08-17 15:49:17 UTC 
what about "Stretch the histogram after trimming 0.5% from both ends" ?
Comment 3 Michael Chudobiak 2016-08-17 15:57:05 UTC 
Yours is better.
Comment 4 Paolo Bacchilega 2016-08-17 17:31:05 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
