[Bug]: Blank output EPS file when using latex and figure.autolayout = True #22840
Description
Bug summary
When figure.autolayout is set to True the output in the EPS file becomes blank. The file is produced and no errors are mentioned.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [3.4, 2.47]
plt.rcParams['figure.autolayout'] = True
[Ignoring creation of data for plots]
plt.plot(t,d,label='electron bunch energy density')
plt.savefig('test.eps')Actual outcome
EPS file converted to PDF
Expected outcome
EPS file converted to PDF with plt.rcParams['figure.autolayout'] = False and all else the same
Additional information
The bug appears when I change to autolayout = True. I noticed there was an earlier bug fix for a very similar scenario (#16898) which seems to fix for the case where figure.autolayout = False.

Not sure what is going on. But you can manually set tight_layout or constrained_layout

That does appear to work, you are right, thankyou. But I need to set it in the rc params since I am using another program to plot other graphs in matplotlib and cannot access these figures to manually change this.

I think this is a duplicate of #21930 which was fixed by #22732
@robintimmis If you are able to install from source, checking if this works for you on either main or v3.5.x would be very helpful!

I'm going to close this as a duplicate, please ping to have re-open if this is in fact not fixed on the development versions.
