Error when zooming in on figures

I receive the below error when attempting to zoom in (using the magnifying glass) on a figure.

Nothing particularly unique about the code I am using for the figure although I am setting the figure position.

Running windows 10 with MATLAB 2017a. I do not recall having the issue with Windows 7.

set(0,'DefaultAxesFontSize',10); set(0,'DefaultLineMarkerSize',8); set(0,'DefaultLineLineStyle','none'); set(0,'DefaultLineLineWidth',2); set(0,'defaultfigureunits','inches')

figure('position',pos6) ydat=bsfc; ylab='BSFC (g/kWh)'; plot(xdat(cs1),ydat(cs1),'-x','color',a5); hold on plot(xdat(cs2),ydat(cs2),'-o','color',a3); hold off grid on xlabel(xlab); ylabel(ylab);

This type of error comes when 'DefaultLineLineStyle' is set to 'none' or if the zoom box's 'LineStyle' is set to 'none'.

Setting these properties back to their default values of '-' might resolve the error.
