[BUG] Log scale plots raise warning and break subsequent non-log scale plots

[ConnectedSystems]

Details

Plots break when iteratively building mix of log scale and non-log scale plots.

In the initial plot, it seems to display okay except the tick/tick labels are missing.

There are some related issues already (mostly closed) but I am still experiencing this issue.

Unlike in this discussion, there is no 0s in the data (as shown in example below)
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/no-strict-ticks-found-message/45217/6

As far as I can determine, it's something to do with the range of values being used
Simple example case (breaking y-axis tick labels):

using Plots

# This is fine
fig = plot([1:25], yscale=:log10)

# This is not fine
fig = plot([5:25], yscale=:log10)
┌ Warning: No strict ticks found
└ @ PlotUtils C:\Users\Takuya\.julia\packages\PlotUtils\VgXdq\src\ticks.jl:294
┌ Warning: No strict ticks found
└ @ PlotUtils C:\Users\Takuya\.julia\packages\PlotUtils\VgXdq\src\ticks.jl:294

This is especially an issue in my case as I am building a mix of regular and log scale plots in a loop.

Additionally, I believe there is some global value being erroneously set or something similar, as once it breaks, all subsequent plots are affected.

My tentative and inelegant fix is to extend the x_max and x_min values to the ceil and floor respectively, as shown in the link below

A more complex example

fig1 = plot([6:26])
plot!(fig1, [5:26])

fig2 = plot([6:26], yscale=:log10)
fig3 = plot([10:27], yscale=:log10)

combined_log = plot(fig2, fig3, link=:y)

# This displays incorrectly
plot(fig1, combined_log, layout=(2,1), link=:none)

Without hacky fix above:

With hacky fix:

Note that the y-axis labels for the bottom two plots seem to extend "off screen", visible in this example as it has another figure on top.
