I have a chart that manually sets the bounds of its NumberAxis classes. This has been working fine until some change in 8u20. Now the y axis will often only render 2 of the 10 tick labels that it should.

To reproduce run the provided test class and you will observe that the y axis does not show all of its tick labels. If you change the code to auto range by taking out the manual bounds in the constructor then all labels are shown.

      primaryStage.show();
