textposition: auto not used for log axis

[drkane]

I've found an issue with textposition: auto when creating a horizontal bar chart.

When a linear axis is used, the text is correctly adjusted to fit into the available bar (see the first "monkeys" bar):

But for a log axis the text is not adjusted:

JSFiddle example

var data = [
  {
    y: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'],
    text: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'],
    x: [20, 14, 1],
    type: 'bar',
    orientation: 'h',
    textposition: 'auto',
  }
];

Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data);
Plotly.newPlot('myDivLog', data, {
	xaxis: {
    type: 'log'
  }
});

Thanks for the report!

This issue appears similar to #3373

Looks like #3762 fixed the behavior (on master, not released yet) for vertical bars:

var data = [
  {
    x: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'],
    text: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'],
    y: [20, 14, 1],
    type: 'bar',
    textposition: 'auto',
  }
];

Plotly.newPlot('graph', data, {
	yaxis: { type: 'log' }
});

now renders as:

but something is still up for horizontal bars.
