Research direction

Start with the CodePen reproduction linked in the issue and inspect the period-label behavior when ticklabelindex is used with only one minor tick. Compare the rendered position with the expected placement between the minor and major ticks; done means the 2020 label appears below the 2020 scatter points in that configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug P2 size: 3

In this figure, the period label 2020 should be positioned below the scatter points of the year 2020 but it is centered between the major ticks:

Image

The correct image would contain a minor tick in the center and the 2020 label between the minor tick and the major tick.
