[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40686] Incorrect colorbar size after "axis tight" or "axis equal"

[Anne Hanna]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #40686 (project octave):

I just got around to looking at this issue again as it started getting in my
way again.  I communicated a little last year with the person who first
introduced the relevant code into Gnuplot (Ethan Merritt), and I'm not sure
there's a particularly good reason this is the way it is, but, in any case,
"set size noratio" was his suggested fix.  It does seem logical to me that
Octave should need to do   _something_ to unset the "axis equal xy(z); view
map" commands before proceeding with drawing subsequent features, even if the
specific unset command needed in this case is a little weird due to a
misfeature of Gnuplot.

I've attached a proposed patch below that seems to resolve things for me.

I did also file an official bug against Gnuplot in hopes of getting their part
of the issue improved:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2287/

Anyway, thanks for your past help tracking this down, and here's hoping we can
finally get it cleaned up now.
