Furthermore, it's not at all obvious how to fix this as a user.\r\n\r\nCouldn't find another issue that directly reports this, so put it here.\r\n\r\nRelated are #1104 and #1077","author":{"url":"https://github.com/eric-wieser","@type":"Person","name":"eric-wieser"},"datePublished":"2017-07-16T14:45:59.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/8894/matplotlib/issues/8894"}
