LaTeX y-axis tick labels introduce additional spacing

[Autoparallel]

The Problem

I am working with the following settings for my y-axis:

let y_axis = Axis::new()
        .title(Title::new(&y_label).font(Font::new().size(48)))
        .show_grid(true)
        .grid_color(PRIMITIVE_GREYS[MAIN_COLOR_SLOT])
        .zero_line(false)
        .show_line(true)
        .tick_prefix("$\\LARGE{")
        .tick_suffix("}$")
        .tick_font(Font::new().size(24))
        .auto_margin(false)
        .range(axes.bounds.1)
        .ticks(plotly::layout::TicksDirection::Outside);

The issue here is that with the chosen .tick_prefix, the y-axis tick labels (except for the first) have additional spacing that makes the labels collide with the y-axis title. My workaround has been to increase the font size of the y-axis title which does not change the visible font size when you are rendering TeX.

Here is an example output image:

By increasing the size to 55, the collision can be avoided:

The real bug here seems to

be the additional whitespace to the right of the y-axis tick labels:

By removing the tick_prefix and tick_suffix and putting:

let y_axis = Axis::new()
        .title(Title::new(&y_label).font(Font::new().size(48)))
        .show_grid(true)
        .grid_color(PRIMITIVE_GREYS[MAIN_COLOR_SLOT])
        .zero_line(false)
        .show_line(true)
        .tick_prefix("")
        .tick_suffix("")
        .tick_font(Font::new().size(24))
        .auto_margin(false)
        .range(axes.bounds.1)
        .ticks(plotly::layout::TicksDirection::Outside);

we get the following:

To reproduce the problem

Use the y_axis settings above. Of course, ignore the choice of immaterial settings. E.g., just use:

let y_axis = Axis::new()
        .title(Title::new(&y_label).font(Font::new().size(48)))
        .show_line(true)
        .tick_prefix("$\\LARGE{")
        .tick_suffix("}$")
        .tick_font(Font::new().size(24))
        .auto_margin(false)
        .range(vec![0.0,4000.0])
        .ticks(plotly::layout::TicksDirection::Outside);

This looks like an issue to be raised with the underlying Plotly.js library, for which this library is just a thin wrapper, but do correct me and reopen if there is an issue in the rust-specific issue.
