Bug summary
When setting the tick length on the top spine only, it is also applied to the bottom spine, creating space between the bottom of the chart and the axis labels.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(range(2020, 2025),
range(-2, 3))
ax.spines['top'].set_position('zero')
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
ax.tick_params(labelbottom=True, labeltop=False, bottom=False, top=True)
ax.spines['top'].axis.set_tick_params(length=10)
ax.set_xticks(range(2020, 2025))
plt.show()Actual outcome
