[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33869] minor ticks disappear from log plot with specified xticklabels

[Ronald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #33869 (project octave):

Ben,

My name is written with lower case "v" and "d". Otherwise it's correct.

I do notice a side-effect of my previous patch. The Y axis moves right more
than needed because of this patch after setting manual yticklabels. This
creates a large amount of white space between the ylabel and the axis labels.

The gnuplot command 'set format y "%s"' seems to trigger this. Changing this
to (the default) %g prevents this. Again I'm just poking around here trying to
force the behavior I want. I do not really understand the details of the
gnuplot nor the octave plotting mechanisms.

So my patch to /usr/share/octave/3.6.1/m/plot/private/__go_draw_axes__.m now
is:
