Legend position change after printing

I draw a bar figure and set the legend using
leg = legend('w/s QOS','w/o QOS','Location','best');
And then I try to save the figure using print
fig2.PaperPositionMode = 'manual';
fig2.PaperUnits = 'points';
fig2.PaperPosition = ([0 0 1920 1080]);
print('./figure/delay_avg','-djpeg');
The following figure is what I have in Matlab window

and the figure below is the figure saved in the file

As you can see, the position of the legend changes. Is this a bug of Matlab? I'm using R2015a

I have the same issue in 2014b. A big problem for a large automated report with thousands of figures.

This problem still exists in the R2021b. It would be great if this could be fixed!

Found a workaround :
l = findobj(gcf, 'type', 'legend');
set(l, 'Location', 'none');
before printing. It disables auto layout for legend and uses its current 'position' for printing. It works for me in R2017b.

Hi Junyi,
I work for MathWorks and I have forwarded this feedback to the appropriate product team.

Use
set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto');
before printing. It works for me (R1015b).

Indeed, I just ran into the same issue in Matlab R2021b.
Please fix it!
