I've attempted a manual application of you patch (as it did not apply for me --- EOL problems no doubt).

My colorbar is not scaled properly. When I do ...

octave:31> contourf(peaks)
octave:32> colorbar

... the colorbar image is twice as wide as the axis, but ...

octave:33> set(h,'xlim',[-.5 1.5])

... after changing the limits for the colorbar axes, all looks correct. Do you see this as well, or did I make an error in my application of your changeset?
