coord_cartesian() cuts off axis labels

[JWiley]

This plot works fine:

library(ggplot2)
testdat <- data.frame(
  Var = 1:4,
  Mean = c(1.5, 3, 2.2, 4.6),
  Low = c("Happy", "Peaceful", "Excited", "Content"),
  High = c("Sad", "Angry", "Hopeless", "Anxious"))

p <- ggplot(testdat, aes(x = Mean, y = Var)) +
      geom_point(shape = 18, size = 7, colour = "grey50") +
      scale_y_reverse("",
      breaks = seq_along(testdat$Low),
      labels = testdat$Low,
      sec.axis = dup_axis(
        breaks =  seq_along(testdat$Low),
        labels = testdat$High))
print(p)

The y axes go from 1 to 4. If I want to specify limits on the x axis (the limits of possible response items on the affect adjectives) I try something like this:

p + coord_cartesian(
      xlim = c(1, 5),
      ylim = c(.5, 4.5),
      expand = FALSE)

which results in that image. Actually the x and y limits look fine, but I can't understand why the labels on the left (Happy, etc) are all gone now. It did not use to do this, although I can't recall at what version it actually stopped / changed how it worked.
Whatever is expected, its hard for me to believe dropping one of my axis labels is the intended behaviour?

Thanks for the report! I can reproduce the issue on my end. I'm inclined to agree that this is unintended behaviour

It appears to be fixed in the development version, though I haven't pinpointed what the problem was and how it was fixed.

Thanks that does work well in the development version. I'll close this then.
