Graphs: consistent pan & zoom for graphs (X and Y axes)
Currently, only the X-axis supports both horizontal scrolling (click & drag) and zooming (mouse wheel) in graphs.
Vertical click & drag typically rescales only the MAX value. This causes issues:
With large ranges (e.g., 3 TB disk space), even significant changes (e.g., a sudden 10GB jump) appear minimal. It is not possible to zoom into a range like 2.9-3 TB using current interactions.
Click & drag is commonly expected to pan/scroll, making the current behavior feel inconsistent.
Workaround:
Graph tunings exist, but they are not easily discoverable, require per-graph rules, and become outdated quickly.
Suggestion:
Use click & drag for panning by default and mouse wheel for zooming. Support Shift/Ctrl modifiers to constrain interactions to the X or Y axis.

Hi, for Checkmk 3.0 we are reworking all graphing in Checkmk -

user MergedCurrently, when you zoom into a graph, the "feel" of the graph zooming in is choppy. Could the zooming behavior be made more "fluid"?
