problems with octave 8.2.0-1 and plotting

[Fabio Rossi]

I forgot to mention that the test machine is running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with a ATI FirePro 3800 graphics card. On the same machine, octave built for Windows executes correctly the same command. I have observed the same behaviour also on other Windows machines running Win7 or other graphic adapters.
