I was playing around with facets [in this notebook](https://observablehq.com/@nachocab/weight) and noticed that setting a larger height than the default one can lead to a misplaced axis and axis labels:

Is this a potential bug or am I doing something wrong?

The root cause is that the _y_ axis has explicit ticks, but they do not change the domain. So you’ll probably need to also set something like:

```
domain: [weightExtent[0] - 1, weightExtent[1] + 2],

```
