[BUG] Scatter silently discards values from longer vector

[albheim]

Details

The behaviour of scatter and plot when sending different length arguments differ. Scatter will silently discard the remaining elements from the longer vector, while plot will error.
Scatter will also scale the plot based on the all the elements, even the ones that aren't shown.

julia> scatter(1:5, 1:8) # 1-5 is plotted, but y is scaled 1-8
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

julia> plot(1:5, 1:8)
Error showing value of type Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}:
ERROR: BoundsError: attempt to access 5-element UnitRange{Int64} at index [1:8]

Yeah, lazy by me to not check. Sorry for the noise!
