Bug report
Bug summary
When using constrained layout on a specific 3-plot layout with automatically aligned labels, the exported plot has labels outside the page. The image in Jupyter Lab renders fine.
Code for reproduction
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
data = [0,1]
fig, (ax3, ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(3, 1, constrained_layout=True, figsize=(6.4,8),
gridspec_kw={"height_ratios":(1, 1, .7)})
ax1.plot(data, data)
ax1.set_ylabel("Label")
ax2.plot(data, data)
ax2.set_ylim(-1.5, 1.5)
ax2.set_ylabel("Label")
ax3.plot(data, data)
ax3.set_ylabel("Label")
fig.align_ylabels(axs=(ax3, ax1, ax2))
fig.savefig("test.pdf")In savefig, backend="PDF" and backend="PGF" or exporting as .png leads to the same, unexpected outcome for me.
