Oh my, it works! I'm shocked and pleased that such a kludge is there,
and disappointed that it isn't documented, since it's such an obvious
thing that people would need.

Nutshell from David's site:

1) Define the IDLgrAxis object
2) GetProperty to retrieve its TICKTEXT
3) SetProperty on the TICKTEXT object for Recompute_Dimensions=2
et voila!

and don't forget to also set Recompute_Dimensions on the TITLE text
object to avoid the same pitfall.

Thanks!

The fix described in this article used to work. Haven't checked
it in a long time:
