Title: incorrect bbox of text 

With current master, frames around texts are incorrectly located.

Here is some test output.

In v1.2.x branch, the results are correct.

The frames are shifted in the master branch. Note that they have too much room toward the top of the texts.

These outputs are created with usetex=False. With usetex=True, the results are still incorrect, but the shifted direction of frames are different.

I am labeling this as a v1.3.x blocker, but change as you wish.
