FlowJo Software - bi-exp dotplot vs log-log plot - Graph Axes (Jan/10/2011 )

Hey all, for reasons unknown to me, I am getting a dot plot with axes that do not have their zero's begin at the lower left corner (refer to the attached file below). Why is this so? And how can I change it?

It's a bi-exp dotplot. Basically it is much better way of presentation of flow cytometry data rather than traditional log-log dotplot.

This paper explains why that scale is advantageous:
