Description

Hi Leon,

we use uPLot to view timeseries data and the user is able to pan the chart. It works great for granularity of <= 1 Day. If the ticks get above that, the chart updates the grid and tick days when the chart range changes. It creates an unpleasant jitter in the background. It, would be nice to keep the ticks on the dates where they are on initially, and not switching to the best possible start date. Do you have any ideas how to solve it?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the timeseries panning behavior described in the issue, using an x-axis range above one day. Inspect how x-axis ticks and the grid are recalculated as the chart range changes; done means panning no longer causes the tick dates and background grid to jitter while preserving appropriate labels.
