Plot symbols in 2014b

2014b (Mac OS 10.10)

plot(rand(1,10), rand(1,10), 'o', 'markersize', 6)

No longer plots the symbols as circles but as octagons. This isn't just screen rendering problem because it shows up when I save the plot as an eps file. Is this a bug, a design choice, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Not sure what I might be doing wrong, but

plot(1:10, rand(1,10),'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',10,'Marker','o', 'markersize', 25)

gives me the plot attached. Circles look more like a tire of a car, not particular pretty. Diamonds same problem, as soon as 'LineWidth' is above 2. Bug?

The circles as octagons and change of shape with line width is a recognised bug.

Thanks. It was listed as a bug after I reported it. I hasn't been fixed in the pre-release of 2015a.
