This (gnuplot) issue is still the same in Octave 4.2.0.

Still present in the development version of Octave with a current version of gnuplot. Does not affect the OpenGL plotting backends that are rendering the axes themselves.

The problem is only with gnuplot.  The issue is that the "ytickmode" property is set to "auto".  In this case, Octave calculates ytick values, but so does gnuplot.  Ideally, only Octave should calculate the ytick values and pass them down to gnuplot so that the display remains in sync with what Octave believes is being displayed.

This one-liner is a workaround you can use until this gets fixed.  It grabs the current ytick values that Octave knows about, and then sets them on the current axis.  This forces the "ytickmode" to "manual" and installs the ytick values that Octave knows about.


set (gca, "ytick", get (gca, "ytick"));

I can't really tell in which cases this happens, but I have an example that does return wrong tick values reliably for me:

> plot(0:4)
> get(gca, 'ytick')
ans =

   0   1   2   3   4
> get(gca, 'xtick')
ans =

   1   2   3   4   5

There are ticks at 0.5, 1.5 etc. in the plot, so the expected and correct results would be:

> get(gca, 'ytick')
ans =

    0.00000    0.50000    1.00000    1.50000    2.00000    2.50000    3.00000    3.50000    4.00000
> get(gca, 'xtick')
ans =

    1.0000    1.5000    2.0000    2.5000    3.0000    3.5000    4.0000    4.5000    5.0000


Plotting 0:3 works fine and so does 0:5.
1:5 and 0:2:8 both have the same issue.

I'm running Octave 3.6.2 with Gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 0 on Debian Wheezy. More specifically, I have these octave packages installed:
liboctave1 (3.6.2-5+deb7u1, amd64)

octave-io (1.0.19-1, amd64)
octave-java (1.2.8-6, amd64)
octave-miscellaneous (1.1.0-1, amd64)
