Fixed it. The problem did not hit because that code path was not taken 
for this experimental online code. Hit refresh, and look at line 140.

     if (! aratio)
     {
         this.m_xstep = axes.width() / ((width > 1) ? (width - 1) : width);

         this.m_ystep = axes.height() / ((height > 1) ? (height - 1) : 
height);

140:    //this.m_xstep /= m_aratio;
         //^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

         this.m_xstep /= this.m_aratio;

         return;
     }
