Details:

Run the attached M-file to see Octave choose axes limits poorly.  I think the
bug has something to do with using 3-D patches.

Also, I attach my Octave command line output.  Note that I also get a weird
warning about "allowing norm to match units value normalized" - WTF is that?

Finally, you may recognize me as a former MathWorks developer.  I'm  running
into lots of bugs trying to make a (sudoku puzzle) GUI work in Octave.  It
works just fine in MATLAB.[FN1]  Anyway, I don't have a lot of time to chase 
down Octave bad behavior. [FN2]  If you put me in touch directly with the
developer of various ButtonDownFcn's, ButtonMotionFcn's and KeyPressFcn's I
can point the person to LOTS of bugs that I don't have time to reduce to a few
lines of code for a bug report.

Thanks and Best regards,

[FN1] Truth be told, I've found and had to work around a few stupid MATLAB
bugs too.

[FN2] It took me MANY hours to produce the bug report here because I had to
reduce my multi-thousand-line GUI code to the two offending  line at the core
of the bug report.
