Bug summary

When plotting a figure withconstrained_layout and subgrids, rows with the same arguments are being plot on top of each other.

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltFig=plt.figure(constrained_layout=True)GS=Fig.add_gridspec(3,1)GSRows=  [GS[0].subgridspec(1,5,width_ratios=(0.2,1,1,1,0.2)),GS[1].subgridspec(1,5,width_ratios=(0.2,1,0.2,1,1)),GS[2].subgridspec(1,5,width_ratios=(0.2,1,1,1,0.2)),# GS[2].subgridspec(1,5, width_ratios=(0.199999, 1, 1, 1, 0.2)),]Axes= [Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[0][1]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[0][2]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[0][3]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[1][1]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[1][3]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[1][4]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[2][1]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[2][2]),Fig.add_subplot(GSRows[2][3]),]Fig.savefig('ActualOutcome.jpg')# Fig.savefig('ExpectedOutcome.jpg')plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

(Changed the third row first column width ratio from 0.2 to 0.199999, see commented line)

Additional information

In the example, the figure has 3 rows and 5 columns with different width ratios. Rows 1 and 3 have the same width ratios, while row 2 has a different width ratio. Note that rows 1 and 3 are merged (row 3 is drawn on top of row 1; Actual outcome image). Note also that if the subgrids are all different (see commented lines in code example changing the width ratio of row 3 from 0.2 to 0.199999) all three rows are drawn as expected.

This was not the case at least until3.4.3, where even if the rows are equal, they are drawn at their expected places.
