axis transition with ordinal scale broken since 3.3.4

[bmesuere]

This problem occurs since updating from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4, and probably has something to do with 06e2077.

I have a graph with an ordinal x-axis to which the user can add and remove items. Since the update to 3.3.4, after removing an item (and updating the domain to reflect this), the position of the ticks and labels on the x-axis don't update. However, the value of the labels and the position of the datapoints on the graph are updated correctly.

relevant code:

var x = d3.scale.ordinal().rangePoints([0, width], 1);
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
        .scale(x)
        .tickFormat(function (id) { return labels[id].name; })
        .orient("bottom");

on update:

x.domain(ids);
svg.select(".x.axis").transition().call(xAxis);

Quite possibly this caused by me relying on something I shouldn't be relying on, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

Thanks for the report. I think the axis is actually doing the right thing here, and the bug is in the behavior of the ordinal scale. I filed #1536 to track that.

Great, thanks for the quick fix, Mike!

Fixed in 3.3.5.
