Description

Feature Request
  • When you create a logarithmic insight, the Y-Axis labels are scrunched together.
  • This makes the chart look inconsistent and more difficult to understand at a glance.

How to reproduce

  • Create a logarithmic graph.
  • Look at the Y-Axis. Notice the labels are scrunched together and overlap one another.
  • An example insight here.
