Bug report

Bug summary
When I export a plot to PNG, some tick labels are pruned. This does not happen if I use another format, such as PDF or SVG.
Code for reproduction
I failed to recreate the problem with a dummy dataset. It seems that the problem is very much an edge case probably. This is what I see on my Jupyter notebook:

The plot is exported nicely in PDF: test.pdf

But, if I use PNG, the bottom and upper y-tick labels are pruned:

I tried to play around with the padding in plt.tight_layout() and the options in plt.savefig() without success.
