Description

          @archmoj: Sorry for the delay in testing. I finally got around to it.

The issue with the gridlines seems to be resolved, but we have a similar situation with the tick labels. Here is a codepen displaying the problem:

From my understanding, tick labels and ticks should always be drawn on top of the traces, correct?
