In the case below, plot line disappears.

```julia
using Plots
plot([1.0e9,1,1,1,1],ylim=(0.0,10))

```

But, in the another case below, plot line does not disappear. Everything operates normally.

```julia
plot([1,1,1,1],ylim=(0.0,10))

```

My version of julia is v1.11.0

This seems to be an issue worthy of reporting to the repository.

Part of the line in the first case is outside of your `ylim`, so it’s not on the plot.

But the line inside my ylim ([1,1,1,1]) does not appear either.

I just tried your example with Jula 1.11.1, Plots 1.40.9, and the GR backend (on Linux). I got a correct plot; the line did not disappear. What backend are you using?
