Red dots on axis is a new feature in Origin 2024 to interactively adjust axis scale.
But they should not show on axis in preview window of dialogs, such as merge graph windows, smoothing, etc. Somehow for previews with layer icon showing on axis, if user clicks on the layer icon on axis, the red dots will show. Drag it, Origin will crash.
No issue for preview windows without layer icon on axis.
Fixed in Origin 2024b.
