However, this should not be necessary as the [documentation says](https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_title.html?highlight=set_title#matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_title) \"y is determined automatically to avoid decorators on the Axes\" (see [pull request #17127](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/17127)). Note also that setting `constrained_layout=True` does not change the output.\r\n\r\n### Operating system\r\n\r\nWindows 10\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Version\r\n\r\n3.4.3\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Backend\r\n\r\nmodule://matplotlib_inline.backend_inline\r\n\r\n### Python version\r\n\r\n3.9.7\r\n\r\n### Jupyter version\r\n\r\n6.4.5\r\n\r\n### Installation\r\n\r\nconda","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nbeaver","@type":"Person","name":"nbeaver"},"datePublished":"2022-07-01T16:12:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":7},"url":"https://github.com/23379/matplotlib/issues/23379"}
