Axis blocked when overlaying two histograms

ROOT
1

Hi everyone,

I encountered a strange ROOT 6.08 bug, which you may reproduce with the scripts and files attached. After drawing, you will find that the x-axis is somehow blocked and one cannot zoom on it. The same script runs fine in ROOT 5, so this is a new “feature” in ROOT 6. It appears that it happens when one tries to overlay two 1D histograms with many non-empty bins, but I cannot always reproduce it with other histograms. I’m wondering if anyone has any clue why this is happening?

Thanks.
