This happens for the y-axis but not the x-axis in the example, and does not happen for `plt.plot()`.\n\nIn an [earlier answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/18774741/3904031) by a developer, `ax.set_yscale('log')` is shown following `ax.scatter()`, so I am wondering if this may be a bug.\n\nUsing matplotlib version 1.5.1 and python 2.7.11\n\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/17236804/17460373/045f64e4-5c96-11e6-8477-9702baec4939.png)\n\n```\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n\nX = [0.997, 2.643, 0.354, 0.075, 1.0, 0.03, 2.39, 0.364, 0.221, 0.437]\nY = [15.487507, 2.320735, 0.085742, 0.303032, 1.0, 0.025435, 4.436435,\n     0.025435, 0.000503, 2.320735]\n\nplt.figure()\n\nplt.subplot(2,2,1)\nplt.scatter(X, Y)\nplt.xscale('log')\nplt.yscale('log')\nplt.title('scatter - scale last')   \n\nplt.subplot(2,2,2)\nplt.plot(X, Y)\nplt.xscale('log')\nplt.yscale('log')\nplt.title('plot - scale last')   \n\nplt.subplot(2,2,3)\nplt.xscale('log')\nplt.yscale('log')\nplt.scatter(X, Y)\nplt.title('scatter - scale first')   \n\nplt.subplot(2,2,4)\nplt.xscale('log')\nplt.yscale('log')\nplt.plot(X, Y)\nplt.title('plot - scale first')   \n\nplt.show()\n```\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/davidmikolas","@type":"Person","name":"davidmikolas"},"datePublished":"2016-08-07T03:58:38.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":32},"url":"https://github.com/6915/matplotlib/issues/6915"}
