Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: jupyter, jupyter-notebook, python
Domain: data-visualization

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in JupyterLab with a log-scaled y-axis and long tick labels, then trace the ipympl rendering and layout path. Done means the y-axis label and expanded tick labels are fully visible without being cut off.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As the title says. In Jupyter Lab the y label is cutoff if using log scale and the numbers on the scale get too long (i.e. more than just 10^n, like x * 10^n).
