How to correctly use zoomer when adding new curves?

[Spitfire]

Guys,

In my application plot can be zoomed in and out.
User can also add/remove curves when he wants.
Problem I see is that in certain cases zoomer doesn't update correctly it's zoom base.

I've created sample to demostrate this problem:

// .h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
 
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
 
class QwtPlot;
class QwtPlotZoomer;
 
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    MainWindow( QWidget* parent = 0 );
    ~MainWindow();
 
public slots:
    void    curve1( void );
    void    curve2( void );
 
private:
    QwtPlot*        plot;
    QwtPlotZoomer*  zoomer;
};
 
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

// .h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>

class QwtPlot;
class QwtPlotZoomer;

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MainWindow( QWidget* parent = 0 );
    ~MainWindow();

public slots:
    void    curve1( void );
    void    curve2( void );

private:
    QwtPlot*        plot;
    QwtPlotZoomer*  zoomer;
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

    int size = 2000;
    QPolygonF poly;
    for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ )
    {
        poly << QPointF(i, i < size/2 ? i : size/2 - i );
    }
 
    QwtPlotCurve* c = new QwtPlotCurve();

I've tested it using both Qwt 5.2.0 and 6.0.1 and here's what I get:
1.
- add curve 1
- add curve 2
- zoom in and out
* everything is fine

2.
- add curve 1
- zoom in
- add curve 2
* you're stuck at curve 1 zoom base

What I am doing wrong?

What I want is to be able to add smaller/larger curves to the plot and update zoomer zoom base correctly.
It would be nice if that could be done without zooming out to the base level and losing current zoom stack.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers!
