Problems with changing axis limits on the Mac

[Russell Taylor]

To reproduce:

• Plot something
• Double click on one of the axes (x or y)
• Change the axis minimum or maximum in the dialog box
• Hit OK (and optionally Apply before that)
• Nothing changes!

Replace the clicking on the OK button with just hitting Return after changing the value and the plot does update.

Fix plot axes not updating on OS X.

The issue seems to be with the 'from' and 'to' boxes. When you enter a value and click apply then the box does not lose focus like on the other platforms so the internal value does not get updated and when the dialog asks what the value is it returns the original and not the new one.

An old comment suggests that the fix used to cause a crash but it no longer seems to...

Fix so that axes are updated on clicking ok.

There was a bug on the Mac also that meant a user would have to click apply first and then okay to see any changes. Refs #7036

Branch: bugfix/7036_osx_plot_axes

Tester: MUST BE TESTED ON MAC

Follow the instructions above and make sure they work now. In addtion also try just clicking apply and also just pressing return when changing a value in the boxes. The plots should now update via all 3 methods.

There was a minor change to the error handling also so check that if you enter invalid input,i.e. min > max that it responds appropriately.

It's good now. Tested on Mountain Lion including my original instructions and those in comment:8, plus things like trying to enter text.
