Yes, I believe there is already code in there to compute the number of
decimals needed when a zoom occurs. I would not be surprised at all
to find out that there is a bug in there (i.e. increasing the digits
too late). Another time when these sorts of discontinuities can occur
is when switching from floating-point to arbitrary precision.
