Time scales labels not displayed if min & max are specified unless a unit is specified

[gkemp94]

Encountered what I believe to be a bug/issue during my most recent project. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Expected Behavior

When creating a chart with a min & max time specified but without setting unit, the unit should be inferred correctly in the same way as when min & max are not set.

Current Behavior

When creating a chart with a min & max time but no unit on either the x or y scale, no labels are being drawn. After looking through the code, it seems that the determineUnitForAutoTicks is returning an unreasonably large Unit "Month" in my case rather than something reasonable for my use case such as day.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create Line Chart with time on either axis
2. Set min & max for that axis

@gkemp94 This might have been addressed with PR #5045

@jcopperfield Changed those lines in my local file and unfortunately there was no change.

@gkemp94 sorry read your question wrong.
The cause for the month unit selection in determineUnitForAutoTicks is the result of getLabelCapacity, which uses the milliseconds format to compute the capacity.
As a workaround you could add the option displayFormats: {millisecond: 'YYYY'} to increase the computed capacity.
