Axis3 tick labels overdraw the legend as shown here.

```julia
using CairoMakie

fig = Figure()
ax = fig[1, 1] = Axis3(fig)
for nn=1:5
    scatter!(randn(10),randn(10),randn(10), label="$nn")
end
axislegend(ax, position=:rb)
fig

```

Perhaps related to [this](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/yticks-on-makie-plots-get-on-top-of-the-legend-box/84633), but the proposed workaround of translating the scene in Z is not straightforward for a 3d plot.

With how things are atm the legend should placed at a z value that doesn’t interact with the 3d plot. You can probably do something like `translate(legend.blockscene, 0, 0, 9980)` to manually adjust it. (And you may need to play with the value a bit. It’s further modified internally, and you’ll want it to be close to 10\_000 but no more.)
