runif(n,a,b) in mathcad prime2.0. Does it really generate a uniform distribution of random numbers?

I am plotting the histogram of the random numbers generated by the runif(n,0,1) function.

Even for big n the distribution I get is not uniform.

What is wrong?

thanks!

What is wrong?

Prime's autoscale. Look at the lowest value at the ordinate and change it to zero.
