When opening a BAM file for the first time and navigating to a particular (variant) coordinate, the coverage track is not auto-scaling. This makes heterozygous variants appear homozygous in the coverage track. This can apparently be fixed by un-checking and re-checking "auto-scale" but does appear to be a new bug with the latest release. Scrolling left or right by dragging also seems to reset the auto-scaling. Once the "fix" is done for a given file, it seems to keep working, but if a new file is loaded, the problem recurs.

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it.   Just to be clear resetting while scrolling is normal behavior.
