Issue with scaling on instruments with 0.001 incruments in DOM

Hello,
I have an issue scaling my DOM for instruments with 0.001 increments such as the Forex-FXCM CADJPY. The DOM shows 0.010 increments by default when I select auto scale. However, the trading is done on 0.001 increments and these prices don't have rows, I just see the numbers pop up. When I manually change the increments in the scale settings menu to 0.001, I get increments by 9 points, for instance:
107.751
107.742
107.733

Submitting a screenshot to what I'm seeing. The price trading in white in the screenshot doesn't have a row, it just pops up when it trades. Tried to lower the range significantly by that doesn't help. Tried putting all options on auto in the scale setting to see if it auto adjusts to no avail. Any way to show each increment with its row?
Thanks.

EDIT: this only occurs with the Forex-FXCM symbols. If I use say the dollar index, which trades at 0.0001 increments, the DOM auto adjusts just fine.

Set the Tick Size to .001:
Chart Settings: Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)


And also make sure the Scale Increment (this is not the "Price Display Format", this is part of the Scale Settings) is also .001:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Increment (Scale Settings)
