Running the first example

LogPlot[x^x, {x, 1, 5}]

from the LogPlot documentation I get a plot without ticks highlighted in red

enter image description here

along with the error message

Tick specification must be a list or a function

The issue is already documented in this post and was attributed to a bug in ticksfun. However, the solution presented there does not work for me and the linked post claims that this bug was resolved in MMA 10.4. I'm using 11.2 (on macOS 10.13). Does that mean the issue was reintroduced in a different manner? If so, how can I fix it?

  • $\begingroup$ @J.M. Sorry about that. If Cassini can't reproduce the issue, then perhaps it's just my installation. Is there some standard procedure, some steps to follow that can help identify the cause of this error on my particular system? $\endgroup$

I also had this issue with 11.3.0 on Mac. For me it was easily fixed by enabling 'dynamic updating' in the Evaluation menu (had been disabled due to an earlier evaluation gone wild!)
