[Bug]: colorbar axes title clobbers extend arrow #23041

Bug summary

Adding a title to a colorbar works fine in most cases, but misplaces the title text when using extend=max as argument to plt.colorbar().

Code for reproduction

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6,6))
x, y, z = [np.random.random(100) for i in range(3)]

scatter = ax.scatter(x, y, c=z)
cbar = plt.colorbar(scatter, extend="max", ax=ax)
cbar.ax.set_title("asdf")

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

I would expect the title text to be above the colorbar including the arrow. This is what happens when running the above code but without extend="max":

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6,6))
x, y, z = [np.random.random(100) for i in range(3)]

scatter = ax.scatter(x, y, c=z)
cbar = plt.colorbar(scatter, ax=ax)
cbar.ax.set_title("asdf")

Additional information

Aesthetically, this is less of an issue with smaller figure sizes but it should generally place the text in the right place irrespective of figure dimensions.
