'Legend' Command shows wrong symbols (R2011b)

Hello all,

I have had issues recently when trying to display a legend on a figure. To my knowledge, the command is formatted as:

legend('Re = 2000','Re = 3000','Re = 4000','Re = 5000','Re = 6000',0)

The legend displays properly, but the symbols used for each data set are not displayed correctly. In this instance, the symbols should be 'o','x','+','s', and 'h'. The legend shows up with the symbols 'o','o','x','+', and 'o'.

The symbols are set in the plot commands, not in the legend command.

Check this example:

 M = rand(6, 20);
 plot(M(1, :), '-o'); hold all
 plot(M(2, :), '-x');
 plot(M(3, :), '-+');
 plot(M(4, :), '-s');
 plot(M(5, :), '-h'); hold off
 legend({'Re = 2000','Re = 3000','Re = 4000','Re = 5000','Re = 6000'})

I hope this helps.
