OK, thanks Helmut,
Now I can get it to work at least, but it still seems awkward to use:
I have to
1) Un-tick "Sync Horiz. axis".
2) Set Manual Limits
3) Re-tick "Sync Horiz. axis"
(So, not what I'd expect - which would be:
If Sync Horiz. axis checked, then manual Time Limits affects all plots in the same way).
In fact - I have the 3 steps above to do each time.
If I leave it checked (which seems to be the default), it does not work. I have to disable, set limits, enable...
PS: I notice the "H" is underlined on the context-menu, but ALT-H is just "Help", so no apparent hot-key to speed the staeps (1..3) above up.
Regards
Stephen.
