IChart & Fixed Query /w scooter values in legend (xMII 11.5.1)

Question

Hello all, this is my first post here and I hope that I can get some help.
Environment Details:
Server: Windows 2003, xMII 11.5.1, Java Plugin 1.4.2_13
Client: Windows XP, IE6, Java Plugin 1.4.2_13
My problem is that I cannot get scooter values to show in the legend with a simple iChart & Fixed Query.  At least not without more problems.  Let me explain...
The following chart & query does not show scooter values in the legend (values are shown in the upper left hand corner for the selected item though):
<applet name="ProcessDataApplet" height="421" width="1259" code="iChart" archive="illum8.zip" codebase="/Illuminator/Classes" "mayscript="true">
<param name="Mode" value="FixedQuery" />
<param name="QueryTemplate" value="Allvac/AMP/QueryTemplate" />
<param name="DisplayTemplate" value="Allvac/AMP/DisplayTemplate" />
<param name="Server" value="MONROE_VAR_ARMS" />
<param name="Query" value="SELECT [TIMESTAMP],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_CURRENT],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_VOLTAGE],[RAM_VELOCITY] FROM [PRODUCT_HEADER] INNER JOIN [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA] ON ([PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA].[PRODUCT_KEY]) WHERE [PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = '525cb615-1b15-4b07-aa7c-9f1df9c47ba3' AND [TIMESTAMP] >= '02/27/2008 03:21:22' AND [TIMESTAMP] <= '02/27/2008 15:14:34' ORDER BY [TIMESTAMP] ASC" />
<param name="RowCount" value="8558" />
<param name="ChartType" value="Line" />
<param name="AxisValueColumn" value="TIMESTAMP" />
<param name="XAxisFontSize" value="10" />
<param name="LegendWidth" value="40" />
<param name="LegendFontSize" value="10" />
<param name="GlobalServerScaling" value="false" />
<param name="ZeroBasedScale" value="true" />
<param name="UseScreenResolution" value="false" />
<param name="EnableDoubleClickRefresh" value="false" />
<param name="ShowMouseTracking" value="true" />
<param name="ShowScooter" value="true" />
<param name="AutoScale.1" value="true" />
<param name="Decimals.1" value="2" />
<param name="AutoScale.2" value="true" />
<param name="Decimals.2" value="2" />
<param name="MinRange.3" value="0.00000" />
<param name="MaxRange.3" value="0.40000" />
<param name="Decimals.3" value="2" />
</applet>
I went one step further to see if I could get the scooter values shown in the legend.  I modified the query to use the StartDate & EndDate placeholders like so:
SELECT [TIMESTAMP],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_CURRENT],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_VOLTAGE],[RAM_VELOCITY] FROM [PRODUCT_HEADER] INNER JOIN [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA] ON ([PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA].[PRODUCT_KEY]) WHERE [PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = '525cb615-1b15-4b07-aa7c-9f1df9c47ba3' AND [TIMESTAMP] >= [SD] AND [TIMESTAMP] <= [ED] ORDER BY [TIMESTAMP] ASC
I also added my initial StartDate & EndDate parameters:
<param name="StartDate" value="02/27/2008 03:21:22" />
<param name="EndDate" value="02/27/2008 15:14:34" />
NOW the scooter values are shown in the legend, which is great, but all of a sudden the zoom is broken.  When I select an area to zoom and then click the zoom button, it zooms to a completely different area of the chart.  This is worse than my original problem.
Can someone please help me out with this?  I have a feeling I'm leaving out something simple, but I can't find it.
By the way, my display template and query template used in this example are empty so that I could show all parameters to you.
Thanks,
Bryan

I removed scaling and accuracy parameters.  I also removed some parameters that controlled styling.  I added global auto scaling. 
Now X & Y are updating properly on zoom.  Although unzoom isn't working for start date and end date.  They stay at the zoomed date.  The post data also shows the zoomed dates being sent to the server after unzoom.  The Y range updates properly on unzoom.
Here is my updated applet html:
<applet name="ProcessDataApplet" height="421" width="1259" code="iChart" archive="illum8.zip" codebase="/Illuminator/Classes" "mayscript="true">
<param name="Mode" value="FixedQuery" />
<param name="InitialUpdate" value="true" />
<param name="QueryTemplate" value="Allvac/AMP/QueryTemplate" />
<param name="DisplayTemplate" value="Allvac/AMP/DisplayTemplate" />
<param name="Server" value="MONROE_VAR_ARMS" />
<param name="Query" value="SELECT [TIMESTAMP],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_CURRENT],[ACTUAL_FURNACE_VOLTAGE],[RAM_VELOCITY] FROM [PRODUCT_HEADER] INNER JOIN [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA] ON ([PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = [PRODUCT_AUDIT_DATA].[PRODUCT_KEY]) WHERE [PRODUCT_HEADER].[PRODUCT_KEY] = '525cb615-1b15-4b07-aa7c-9f1df9c47ba3' AND [TIMESTAMP] >= [SD] AND [TIMESTAMP] <= [ED] ORDER BY [TIMESTAMP] ASC" />
<param name="RowCount" value="10000" />
<param name="StartDate" value="02/27/2008 03:21:22" />
<param name="EndDate" value="02/27/2008 15:14:34" />
<param name="ChartType" value="Line" />
<param name="GlobalAutoScale" value="true" />
<param name="UseScreenResolution" value="false" />
<param name="ShowMouseTracking" value="true" />
<param name="ShowScooter" value="true" />
<PARAM NAME="Trace" VALUE="true">
</applet>
This problem isn't making any sense to me.  The documentation makes it sound like showing the current values in the legend is as easy as setting ShowScooter = true.  This wasn't the case for me though.  I had to use the [SD] and [ED] placeholders in my fixed query before the values would show up in the legend.  But then zooming breaks.  It looks like we're heading in the right direction to get the zooming fixed, but at the cost of being able to scale each pen.
The first thing you said to me in your first post was that I'm using a 3+ years old version of xMII.  Are you saying there is a good chance this is a bug?  I was pretty convinced from the beginning that this problem is a bug.  The customer I am working for set me up with an xMII 11.5.1 server because that is what they are using in production.  Is there an online document with a list of bug fixes between versions?  If this is a known bug in 11.5.1 then maybe I can get the go ahead to upgrade.
