Hi,

There is an internal undocumented axes property "looseinset" that controls
the minimal margins around the axes box. This property is interpreted in the
same units as position, "normalized" here, and has default value [0.13 0.11
0.095 0.075].

In your fig. 1 and 2, which are taller, the axes vertical margins are thus
larger, hence the observed (expected) behavior. Setting axes' "looseinset"
to [0 0 0 0] will let you obtain what you expected, but will probably lead
to other oddities ...
