Should use % instead of absolute position when moving axes by dragging

When dragging axis, we change it as % by default.

In the pass, if we drags axis, then we set the new position as absolute X value.

But then when user changes data and rescales, the axis jumps or goes out of page.

In Origin2026b, we use % instead of absolute position.
