Hi Václav,thanks for the bug report. As a temporary workaround - use
plt.gca().yaxis.set_offset_position('right')
Committers: the patch attached fixes this problem. I thought that
there might be a similar problem for twiny() - but ax.xaxis does
not appear to have .set_offset_position() method.> I've had this issue with versions .99, 1.0.0, running on Linux
