  Sorry for that problem. It solved the problems I was having
but created at least yours problem. I am having an almost live
conversation right now about related issues at

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30202451

right after posting the first test case result this was created:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1666

if possible, can you check if the above patch corrects your
issue?


archives of mailing list not yet updated, but I have made several
runs of matplotlib test suite, with logs at:
