Default secondary axis disappearing

hi all,
i have a chart with 2 secondary axis.
i have noticed that when setting min / max and changeing to 'plot in
reverse order' that an axis sometimes 'disappears' and after subsequent
formatting, reappears.
is there a reason or any logic in this?

Default

If you start with the default settings, the primary axes are below and
left of the chart, and the secondary above and right of the chart. Say
you reverse the secondary Y axis values order. If you forget to uncheck
the Category X Axis Crosses at Maximum box, the maximum is now at the
bottom, and the primary axis already at the bottom blocks the secondary
axis. Sometimes it only partially blocks it, and you can see tick labels
from both axes, but that's rare. When the axis is blocked, you can't see
it or click on it, and it disappears from the chart element dropdown in
the Chart toolbar, but the respective series still obey its scale.

Ramble: I wish there were a "Crosses at Minimum" setting.
