How can I zoom out past the default axis limits?

I just installed Matlab 2016b and have the following problem: I can't zoom out past the default axes in either direction, using the + magnifier button in a figure. I can zoom in just fine, but not out. In other words, I can't make all the data take up a tiny fraction of the plot area. Zooming past the default axes has shown hidden data on previous Matlab versions, so I would like to be able to do that still. A simple plot shows the problem:
figure;
plot([0 1], [0 1]);
Thank You

This problem seems to have reappeared in Matlab 2023b. The workaround still works (where the panning "hand" is used first, then the zoom can be extended beyond the bounds), but it is very frustrating to have this problem reappear.

I don't recall it being the case that you could zoom out beyond the original axes size, actually.
You could always do it programatically, e.g. by
xlim([-10 10])
ylim([-10 10])

I find this change rather disappointing. It seems I will now have to use xlim & ylim frequently when I used to just lasso the region of interest. Please TMW, reinstate the ability to zoom beyond the original settings.

Yes, I also quickly noticed this very annoying change in the zoom functionality. Matlab basically screwed up. I don't use the newer versions so hopefully this mistake was removed afer 2016b.

I accidentally discovered the solution. It only involves an extra mouse click or two:
- plot as usual
- click the drag icon; then quickly drag the (inner) plot; the amount doesn't matter, it just has to move
- NOW, the zoom will work as it did in days of old ... you can zoom out as much as you want, just like before
- If you double-click the plot to reset the view back to the original, you then lose the new zoom capability, meaning you have to go back to step (2) ! (this is the case for 2016b)
