Bug report

Bug summary

Not sure if this an expected behaviour, but the colorbar seems to be ignored when using tight_layout. Example taken from the "Constrained Layout Guide" (https://matplotlib.org/3.1.3/tutorials/intermediate/constrainedlayout_guide.html#colorbars).

Code for reproduction

arr = np.arange(100).reshape((10, 10))
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(4, 4), constrained_layout=True)
for ax in axs.flat:
    im = ax.pcolormesh(arr)
fig.colorbar(im, ax=axs, shrink=0.6)
plt.tight_layout()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome
This is the outcome before calling plt.tight_layout()
