Color ramp not changing to reflect interactiv​e seting of hi/low color boxes

Question

This is using the colorramp associated with the intensity graph, but it's also true of the basic colorramp in Controls->CLassic->Numeric. The colorboxes change color, but the ramp itself remains the default black-to-blue interpolated scale. (labview 6.1, Windows 2000)

The color ramp has a number of colors that control its appearance, up to
about 256 of them. The top and bottom colors are actually the above and
below colors. In otherwords, if your scale goes 0 to 100, the below
color is for intensities below 0 and the above color is used only for
values above 100. Using autoscaling for the Z scale, you will not see
those colors unless you start zooming in by manually changing the Z
scale values. The intermediate colors are set by righ
t clicking on the
markers on the scale. Right click on 100 and there should be a menu
item for Color which will let you change its color. Ditto for 0, and
for any intermediate markers. You can add intermediates by popup or by
dragging another marker onto the scale. You can also drag the
intermediates or type into them to change their location.
