Column gap spacing with hidden y tick labels

[nicholasbalasus]

Is there a way to achieve consistent column spacing when hiding tick labels? For example, in the attached plot, figures 1 and 2 are further apart than 2 and 3. I have been adjusting manually with colgap but this is tedious.

using CairoMakie
using GeoMakie
using NaturalEarth

fig = Figure(size=(1500,550))
for i in 1:3
    ax = GeoAxis(fig[1,i], dest="+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84", xgridwidth=0.05, ygridwidth=0.05, width=Relative(1.0))
    lines!(ax, GeoMakie.coastlines(); color=:black, linewidth=0.5, xautolimits=false, yautolimits=false)
    (x1, x2, y1, y2) = (-19, 55, -38, 42)
    xlims!(ax, (x1, x2))
    ylims!(ax, (y1, y2))
    lines!(ax, [x1, x1, x2, x2, x1], [y1, y2, y2, y1, y1], color=:black, linewidth=2.0)
    i > 1 && hideydecorations!(ax, grid=false)
end
display(fig)

Making the y tick labels transparent is a sufficient workaround here:

fig = Figure(size=(1500,550))
for i in 1:3
    if i == 1
        ax = GeoAxis(fig[1,i], dest="+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84", xgridwidth=0.05, ygridwidth=0.05)
    else
        ax = GeoAxis(fig[1,i], dest="+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84", xgridwidth=0.05, ygridwidth=0.05, yticklabelcolor=(:white, 0.0))
    end
    lines!(ax, GeoMakie.coastlines(); color=:black, linewidth=0.5, xautolimits=false, yautolimits=false)
    (x1, x2, y1, y2) = (-19, 55, -38, 42)
    xlims!(ax, (x1, x2))
    ylims!(ax, (y1, y2))
    lines!(ax, [x1, x1, x2, x2, x1], [y1, y2, y2, y1, y1], color=:black, linewidth=2.0)
end
colgap!(fig.layout, -125)
display(fig)

This might be related to the issue where we forgot to hook up the *visible attributes...will take a look this weekend!
