[Tex/LaTex] Tikz Colorbar meta min max problem

pgfplotstikz-pgf

Im trying to include a colorbar, where I encounter some strange behaviour.
The first Colorbar works:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikzscale,pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.13}
\newcommand\figurescale{1} 
\newlength\figH
\newlength\figW
\begin{document}
\centering
\setlength{\figH}{0.5\textheight}
\setlength{\figW}{0.9\textwidth}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
width=\figW,
height=0.333\figH,
at={(0\figW,0.002\figH)},
hide axis,
scale only axis,                 
colorbar sampled,                
colormap/jet,
colorbar style={
    samples=100,                
    point meta min=295.1111, 
    point meta max=295.5111, 
    scaled y ticks = false,
    ytick={295.1111,295.5111},
   yticklabel style={/pgf/number format/.cd,precision=5},
}  
]
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

but changing the point meta max from 295.5111 to 295.2111 and corresponding the ytick as 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikzscale,pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.13}
\newcommand\figurescale{1} 
\newlength\figH
\newlength\figW
\begin{document}
\centering
\setlength{\figH}{0.5\textheight}
\setlength{\figW}{0.9\textwidth}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
width=\figW,
height=0.333\figH,
at={(0\figW,0.002\figH)},
hide axis,
scale only axis,                 
colorbar sampled,                
colormap/jet,
colorbar style={
    samples=100,                
    point meta min=295.1111, 
    point meta max=295.2111, 
    scaled y ticks = false,
    ytick={295.1111,295.2111},
   yticklabel style={/pgf/number format/.cd,precision=5},
}  
]
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

leads to the error

Package pgfplots Error: the arguments of [mesh/rows=2,mesh/cols=75] assume 150 points, but I actually got N = 192 points! The data matrix appears to be incomplete or overcomplete!? [Use mesh/check=false to disable this message

Turning mesh/check=false does not help (it results in a corrupted Colorbar).

Update

I could get the Interval a bit smaller with this:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
hide axis,
scale only axis,
height=0pt,
width=0pt,
colorbar,
colormap/jet,
point meta min=295.1111,
point meta max=295.1121,
colorbar style={
    height=10cm,
    ytick={295.1111,295.1121},
    yticklabel style={/pgf/number format/.cd,fixed,precision=9},
}]
\addplot [draw=none] coordinates {(0,0)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

But changing point meta max from 295.1121 to 295.1112 

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
hide axis,
scale only axis,
height=0pt,
width=0pt,
colorbar,
colormap/jet,
point meta min=295.1111,
point meta max=295.1112,
colorbar style={
    height=10cm,
    ytick={295.1111,295.1112},
    yticklabel style={/pgf/number format/.cd,fixed,precision=9},
}]
\addplot [draw=none] coordinates {(0,0)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

gets the

Dimension too large

error. Is it possible to further decrease the displayed interval of the Colorbar? Is there a domain feature like in
pgfplots-error-dimension-too-large available for the colorbar?

I would like to change the meta max to about 295.11111112.

Update 2
Lualatex does not help here, it results in a corrupted colorbar:

Lualatex working Lualatex not working

Best Answer

I found a solution to it. I just created a colorbar with a "standard" range from 0 to 1 and replaced the yticklabels with the correct labels. The final result looks like this example
