legend outside axes

Community matplotlib-users

Hello,
I encountered a problem when trying to draw a legend outside the axes.
For some reason, when the legend is placed outside the axes, the markers are not drawn near the labels.

I attach two scripts and two corresponding figures.

the only differences between the scripts is the location of the legend.
When the legend is placed inside the axes, everything is OK.
However, when the legend is outside the markers are gone.

Is this a bug ?

Is there a way around it ?

Thanks,
Eli

I am not seeing this problem in mpl svn (what version are you using).
perhaps you can upgrade to svn?
