This should now be fixed in SVN r4909. The padding between the axes and the tick labels was not getting updated when the dpi changed. (That's why Rob's workaround worked, because it set the dpi "early enough").
There is still a known dpi bug with custom-shaped scatter plots, but I hope to tackle that next. Cheers, Mike Rob Hetland wrote: > I noticed this bug last week (and forgot to send it in until now..
