Hey everyone,

Since the last update I have the following problem. I have a plot including a ribbon using pgfplotsx. It automatically includes markers on the ribbon and on the mean, which I would like to remove both.

Here is the code:

```julia
using Plots
pgfplotsx()
xs = 1:15
μs = 1:15
sigma = rand(15)*3
plot(xs, μs, grid=false, ribbon = sigma, fillalpha = 0.4, label = "", color = :black)

```

which leads to

I would like to disable the black dots. Does anybody have an idea?

I have never used `pgfplotsx`, but what happens if you set the marker size to zero? (`ms=0`, alternatively a very small value) Can you set the marker color to false? (`mc=false`) May also have to set the marker stroke color in the same way (`msc=false`). Alternativel, set the marker alpha value to zero? (`ma=0`, `msa=0`).

Sadly, none of them work. I guess it must be a bug with the backend, as it was introduced after an update. I’ll file an issue.

I agree – it must be a bug.
