Save figure as image in R2014b without causing legend customization to revert

How can I keep the increases in line width in the legend of my plot when I save the figure as an image? It always reverts it to the corresponding data's line width and saves like that. When put into a document it is nearly impossible to tell what the line color is in the legend. I went back to my R2013b install and it worked no problem.

Using the following commands in both versions:

[hLeg,objLeg,outh,outm] = legend(...); set(objLeg,'LineWidth',5); saveas(hFig,[FileName '.png']);

I think a better way of doing this is to adjust the linewidth of your plot. For example,

hold on

plot(t, sin(t), 'LineWidth', 5);
plot(t, cos(t), 'LineWidth', 5);
legend('Sine', 'Cosine');

hold off

saveas(gcf, 'test.png');

This way the "saveas" command will not trample over any changes you made to the legend. Additionally, you will be able to see the lines better in your image.
