Bug Description

Bug description

This is happening intermittently so it's tricky to reproduce. Here's a loom showing the issue: https://www.loom.com/share/6e9a698f4aee4842844a22e0c08451e3

How to reproduce

  1. In the SQL editor, add multiple Y axes
  2. Customize the visualization for each Y axis, including editing the display name
  3. Starting with the second visualization, editing it will copy its settings to the previous one

Research direction
Investigate the visualization settings update logic to prevent the current Y axis settings from copying to the previous one. Focus on state management and how the visualization options are updated for each Y axis.
