Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the linked JSFiddle with a scatter plot using mode: 'lines+markers+text' and either fill: 'tonexty' or fill: 'tozeroy'. Trace the autorange calculation for the first and last text points; done means those labels are included in the range and are no longer cut off.
