I have a function that creates a figure with two (side-by-side) axes; the axes
on the right is a bar chart (it uses the bar function).  However, I believe
the bar function alters the axes position; specifically, it sets the axes
Position to the DefaultAxesPosition.

The attached function shows the bug.  Run it as

octave_bar_bug(false)

to see how the figure should look.  Then close the figure and rerun as 

octave_bar_bug(true)

Notice that the right hand side axes has been moved and is now over the top of
the left hand side axes.

LMK if you need more info.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Regards,
