There is a slight misalignment visible on the right and bottom edges. Depending on the window size this shows either as a white gap or a darker overlap (visible because alpha=0.5).\n\nThe other bars are all properly lined up.\n\nConfirmed both in the notebook inline mode and the QT backend on OSX.\n`matplotlib.__version__ = '1.4.3'`\n\nSteps to reproduce:\n\n``` python\nimport matplotlib.pylab as plt\nimport numpy as np\nplt.figure()\nplt.hist(np.random.uniform(0.0, 1.0, size=1000), fc=\"gray\", lw=0.0, alpha=0.5)\nplt.show()\n```\n\nThen resize the window and observe.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/damiendr","@type":"Person","name":"damiendr"},"datePublished":"2015-07-08T11:29:00.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/4602/matplotlib/issues/4602"}
