[Bug]: Setting bbox_inches to a Bbox in fig.savefig resizes colorbar

[pittwolfe]

Bug summary

Setting bbox_inches in fig.savefig to a specified Bbox rather than "tight" resizes the colorbar relative to when bbox_inches is not set—the resulting colorbar is a lot larger than it should be.

Code for reproduction

import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100)
y = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100)

X, Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4,4))

pc = ax.pcolormesh(x, y, np.sin(X)*np.sin(Y))
fig.colorbar(pc, ax=ax, aspect=40)

# Uncomment the first fig.savefig to get the correct output on the second call
# fig.savefig('nobbox_inches.png')
fig.savefig('bbox_inches.png', bbox_inches=mpl.transforms.Bbox([[0, 0], [4, 4]]))

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

Additional information

Calling fig.savefig without bbox_inches set first and then calling it again with bbox_inches set produces expected outcome.
Calling plt.show() prior to savefig also works.

Do you know if this ever worked? We changed some colorbar things recently, but not sure what would have caused this to happen. Thanks

[pittwolfe]

Not sure. This is the first time I've tried to set bbox_inches to anything other than "tight".

It helps whet the figure is cut on the left and at the top, but doesn'i if it cut the xlabel :(

@irina-nesterova if you are still having problems with this in Matplotlib v3.7.2, please open a new issue with some code that demonstrates the problem.
