The file is produced and no errors are mentioned.\r\n\r\n### Code for reproduction\r\n\r\n```python\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\n\r\nplt.rc('text', usetex=True)\r\nplt.rcParams[\"figure.figsize\"] = [3.4, 2.47]\r\nplt.rcParams['figure.autolayout'] = True\r\n\r\n[Ignoring creation of data for plots]\r\n\r\nplt.plot(t,d,label='electron bunch energy density')\r\nplt.savefig('test.eps')\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Actual outcome\r\n\r\nEPS file converted to PDF\r\n\r\n[test.pdf](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/files/8480431/test.pdf)\r\n\r\n\r\n### Expected outcome\r\n\r\nEPS file converted to PDF with `plt.rcParams['figure.autolayout'] = False` and all else the same\r\n\r\n[test_false.pdf](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/files/8480446/test_false.pdf)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n### Additional information\r\n\r\nThe bug appears when I change to autolayout = True. I noticed there was an earlier bug fix for a very similar scenario (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/16898/) which seems to fix for the case where figure.autolayout = False.\r\n\r\n### Operating system\r\n\r\nHPE Cray Linux Environment\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Version\r\n\r\n3.5.1\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Backend\r\n\r\nmodule://matplotlib_inline.backend_inline\r\n\r\n### Python version\r\n\r\n3.8.5\r\n\r\n### Jupyter version\r\n\r\n3.2.9\r\n\r\n### Installation\r\n\r\npip","author":{"url":"https://github.com/robintimmis","@type":"Person","name":"robintimmis"},"datePublished":"2022-04-13T10:15:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/22840/matplotlib/issues/22840"}
