[Matplotlib-users] poor tick locator defaults in 2.0?

[Mike Kaufman]

Hi,

When I switched over to the 2.x branch, I found that for shorter plots 
(like when you have a set of vertically stacked subplots), I am seeing 
y-axes with only a single tick label. This is without doing any explicit 
tick locating. In 1.5.x I didn't see this.

This is bad as it makes the whole point of labeling the ticks pointless 
because you can't get any sense of scale.
