Automatic plot tick labels improperly scaled

[Boronkay, Allen R.]

I'm using Octave 3.0.0 and having a problem with tick labels on plots
which can be shown with the following code:

 

a = [0:100];

b = 1e-9*a.^2;

Plot(a,b)

 

The y-axis labels all show "0.0" which is decidedly unhelpful. The
highest label should show "1.00e-005" or similar, with appropriate
scaling on the intermediate labels. I played a little with trying to use
the "ylim" property of the "axes" command, but wasn't able to get that
to work at all, let alone fix this problem.

 

Note: if I recall correctly, the tick labels worked properly in v2.1.73.

 

If there's a known workaround, please let me know. Thanks for your help.
