Expected behaviour

I'm plotting 3D plots with matplotlib I want them to show all the axes and their labels completely.

Actual behaviour

I'm plotting 3D plots with matplotlib and the inline plots appear cropped. I've tried the sample code for a 3D scatter plot given in the matplotlib documentation, and it also appears cropped

Steps to reproduce:

[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]

1. Download the code from matplotlib as a notebook, link here (you'll have to scroll down until you see the button to download it, it should redirect you to this link (https://matplotlib.org/stable/_downloads/03ed879008811eb700082f93269e95f9/scatter3d.ipynb)
2. Run the code in VSCode, the plot will have the zlabel cut out, as in this StackOverflow question where I've tried different solutions, but to no avail

Thanks for filing this issue and I'm sorry for not getting back any sooner on this.

If you try this exact same notebook in Jupyter Lab, you run into the same issue
I.e. this isn't caused by VS Code.

Most likely an issue with matplot lib irself.
Closing this as its not caused by VS Code.

[DavidSiretMarques]

I did try it in jupyter lab and it didn't give me the issue, that's why I opened it here...

Let me try again, to see if it's indeed a problem not caused by VS Code

[DavidSiretMarques]

I just run the code in jupyter lab (web version) and I cans see the 3 axes, so I think it is indeed a VS Code problem, see the image for the code

Whereas that same code in VS Code gives me this image:

[DonJayamanne]

Please try Jupyter lab locally, i tried that again and same result

[DavidSiretMarques]

I'm not going to install jupyterlab, I trust you.

Should we reopen this issue in the matplotlib repo?
