- Changed bar chart zoom buttons to look like graph zoom buttons
- Fixed: Reset all does not reset the calorie axis for the bar charts.
- Fixed: When calories drop back down, the zoom buttons go away but the axis does not rescale, so you can end up with a rescaled axis that you can not get back to the standard view (unless you add lots of calories to make the zoom buttons return).
- Fixed: Can't edit values for height when in metric
- Fixed: Red arrow appears on weight slider after changing units
