Description
Data file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pnAUDCz9uscccSaUISodF9cqGF23uNzU
Off-diagonal bivariate scatter plot axes are out of line
My understanding from the documentation is that half the chains are used for each of the off-diagonal plots. In this example case (see posterior data file linked above) the chains have not converged and so the lower off-diagonal plot seems to be using chains that only sampled from one mode, using default condition I think this should be correct. I believe the x-axis should be inline with the above univariate marginal plot and the y-axis inline scaled as the x-axis of the upper off-diagonal bivariate plot?

mcmc_pairs(posterior, pars = c("u","v"))

Research direction
Reproduce the report with posterior.arr.RData and the shown mcmc_pairs(posterior, pars = c("u","v")) call. Start at the mcmc_pairs plotting entry point and compare the lower off-diagonal axes with the upper bivariate plot and univariate margins. Done means the axis ranges and alignment match the reported expectations for the non-converged chains.
