Afterfit adjusting axis not working as intended

[LeeLenaleee]

Before version 2.5.0 in the afterFit callback of an axis you could change the padding so the chart would start later:

Since 2.5.0 and in the new beta this doesnt work anymore, the value is changed if I log it in the console but it doesnt change the chart

Expected Behavior

Adjust the axis with the new values.

Current Behavior

ignoring the new values

Steps to Reproduce

Working 2.4.0: https://jsfiddle.net/Leelenaleee/dxrm918n/2/
Not working 2.9.4: https://jsfiddle.net/Leelenaleee/t7ndrxk5/2/
Not working beta 9: https://jsfiddle.net/Leelenaleee/t09823kd/2/

Environment

• Chart.js version: 2.9.4 and beta 9
• Browser name and version: chrome latest stable build

Is it stated somewhere that afterFit would be the place for this kind of adjustement? It would seem logical it should be done in beforeFit.

Please add a reproduce of this.

Mb putted them in a commented block, tried making it beforeFit but that also doesn't seem to work.

The beta9 with 100px padding left/right: https://jsfiddle.net/axwutk4c/

I guess the difference is, its calculated from the edge. And also the y-axis moves with the chart area.

Same applies to 2.9.4, the padding is used, if its greater than the required padding for labels.

Has there been a solution or alternative for this? We would like to have the option to have some padding between the Y axis and the first X axis tick, but paddingLeft doesn't seem to work anymore.

I tried the "grace" property but doesn't seem to have any effect.
