Description (last modified by Ross Whitfield) (diff)
I believe this bug was introduced in #10639
With the Normalize histogram to bin width option on, the plots are not normalised when you drag and drop the workspace onto a plot. Giving the warning "You are overlaying distribution and non-distribution data!", which isn't true.
A quick example,
w=Load('CNCS_7860')
w=SumSpectra(w)
w=Rebin(w,10) then
'Plot Spectrum' then drag workspace w onto the same plot and they will have a factor of 10 different.
Also should the option Normalize histogram to bin width be turned off by default?

We did wonder whether the default should be on/off. A straw poll of some instrument scientists, #10669, suggested that on by default was better so we thought we would release to beta with it on by default and see what the feedback is.
