PR Summary

We set the scale forsecondary_axis for each draw in case the parent scale has changed (i.e. from linear to log), but this means that we can't set the locators and formatters for the secondary axis. This change keeps track of the parent scale and only resets the locators and formatters if the parent scale changes.

Closes#14443
