Axis tick count not updating when calling chart.load(...) with new column data

[lepolt]

I have a chart generated with a set of data, but users will be able to ask for different bits of data and when that happens I am using load to load the new data. When this happens, there are certain cases where I need to update the number of ticks on the x-axis. Looking at the docs, I should be able to do this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I created a JSFiddle here (http://jsfiddle.net/lepolt/yhe7sg79/3/) that loads the initial data, then reloads new data and changes the tick count, but tick count is not reflected.

There is a hack to bypass this problem: #1223 (comment)

You basically ignore the load functionality with changing the internal configuration directly, although this is not the right way to do it.

Also, I'm using Typescript with C3 so I had to add new types to my custom @types/c3 to be able to use this.
