Why is the line plotting beyond the box?

I have been encountering this problem lately, and I don't know how to solve it. Using the plot function, the line plotted would go beyond the box. Any idea how to fix this? See figure below in the top right corner.

P.S. I have just upgraded my Matlab from 2016a to 2017b, and the issue was there before.

I never encountered that.

It will help greatly if we have your code and relevant data if to see if we can reproduce that problem.

Maybe you somehow created the axes, then put hold on (to lock everything down), and then plotted some data that went beyond the axes limits. Hard to say for certain since you didn't include your code.

This behavior is governed by the "Clipping" property of the axes. It must have been set to "off" somehow. For example,

x = 1:0.1:11;
y = x;

figure
plot(x,y)
xlim([0 10])
set(gca,'Clipping','off')

yields

Try

set(gca,'Clipping','on')

Thank you very much, this was actually the problem, for some reason I had the DefaultLineClipping set to 'off' in my startup script, I just fixed that and now I'm getting the desired behavior.
