Description

Description

The vertical and horizontal scale lines have different spacing between their values.

The horizontal ones need significantly more spacing between the label and the line. And the vertical ones could use some more space as well

Research direction

Start by reproducing the spacing problem on a chart, comparing the horizontal and vertical scale labels with their lines as shown in the screenshot. Trace the chart scale rendering entry point and identify the existing spacing logic; done means both orientations have visibly consistent, improved label-to-line spacing across charts.
