How do I fix this bug: xticklabel is not aligned with the xtick position.

I've been using Matlab for years and have only just come across this. Thankfully it's pretty simple to demonstrate. I get a weird bug when I run:

xAxis = -.25:.01:.25;
figure;plot(xAxis,rand(1,length(xAxis)));
set(gca,'xtick',-.1:.1:.1,'xticklabel',-100:100:100);

The central '0' label is offset from the position of the xtick for 0 (it isn't aligned).

I've run the code on 2014b, 2015b and 2016a and get the same result (all run on a Mac).

I imagine it's something to do with the way that Matlab aligns the string labels - it doesn't happen if the labels are all 0s for example. However it seems like quite a basic thing to get wrong...

Is there a fix for this bug or a quick workaround?

Thanks, Chris

So... I found the workaround myself if anyone has the same problem. Put the labels in as strings:

xAxis = -.25:.01:.25;
figure;plot(xAxis,rand(1,length(xAxis)));
set(gca,'xtick',-.1:.1:.1,'xticklabel',{'-100','0','100});
