But if I don't use _extra it looks different.

I should have submitted this example too. Then xminor=0 looks different.

pro test_axis_minor_error
erase
window,0
tek_color
plot,findgen(15),findgen(15),/nodata,xstyle=5,ystyle=5

axis,xaxis=0,xticks=4,xminor=0,color=2
axis,xaxis=1,xticks=4,xminor=1,color=2

axis,yaxis=0,yticks=4,yminor=0,color=2
axis,yaxis=1,yticks=4,yminor=1,color=2

end
