title: Highcharts horizontal bar chart categories are sized incorrectly
body: <p>I'm having a problem with Highcharts where each bar chart category is way too tall in a horizontal arrangement.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0uPGE.png" alt="An example of an incorrectly sized category"></p>
  
  <p>The code used to generate the chart is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>chart2 = new Highcharts.Chart({
          chart: {
            renderTo: 'wordchart1',
            defaultSeriesType: 'bar'
          },
          title: {
            text: 'Word Frequency Distribution'
          },
          xAxis: {
            categories: ['LIL POP SHOP','SWEET BOX','LITTLE BABY\'S ICE CREAM','SUGAR PHILLY','Please pick one:'              ],
            title: {
              text: ''
            }
          },
          yAxis: {
            min: 0,
            title: {
              text: 'Word Frequency Analysis',
              align: 'high'
            }
          },
          plotOptions: {
            bar: {
              dataLabels: {
                enabled: true
              }
            }
          },
          series: [{
            name: 'Word Frequency Analysis',
            data: [89,43,32,24,3              ]              }]
          });
        });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea what may be the problem?
  Thanks!</p>
