[BUG] failing tick calculation in narrow log-log plots

[psanan]

Details

In attempting to plot data on a log-log plot, with

x = [0.0625, 0.03125, 0.015625, 0.0078125, 0.00390625]
y = [0.08803057664711, 0.022532873837507062, 0.005666348468055831, 0.00141866249195611, 0.0003547954142212406]
gr()
plot(x, y, xaxis=:log, yaxis=:log)

the resulting plot has no x ticks and warnings are emitted:

 Warning: No strict ticks found

I believe that I did not always see this warning, but unfortunately I don't have the exact version numbers for the working case (though I was using Julia 1.5.x).
