The left quote in "don't ..." is causing problems when the length of the label
is computed, and this leads to leaving too little room for the graph's right
axis.
I am hopeful that this can be fixed in the next ado update, but if not it will
be fixed in the one after that.
It's not pretty, and it takes some trial and error, but in the interim Dan can
work around this by adding some space "by hand" using the option
-graphregion(margin(l=25))-. I am just guessing at the "25"; Dan will need to
play with that number until things look right.
