Hello everyone,
I just developed a new issue I wasn’t having before. I updated my packages a few days ago, and now when I scatterplot, the color bar is locked to the interval [0,1] for some reason. For example:
```julia
using Plots
pgfplots()
scatter(rand(5), rand(5), zcolor=10*rand(5)+10 )
```
Will produce a plot with a colorbar from 0 to 1, and all the points colored at the maximum value of 1. Does anyone know if there were some changes made, or if this is a bug?
Thanks

If you don’t get an answer here, consider opening an issue for Plots.jl, preferably with a screenshot.

Thanks, I’ll wait a little longer and see if anything materializes. Here is that screenshot in the mean time:
