When plotting using the cex.axis argument to boxplot(), the size of the
plotting symbols beyond the whiskers of the boxplot are being changes.
Example:
par(mfrow=c(2,1))
boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2,
cex.axis=2)
boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2,
cex.axis=1)
This is from the following line in bxp()
outcex <- pcycle(pars$outcex, pars$cex, par("cex"))
Where pars$cex is matching pars$cex.axis. This would also effect other
parameter specifications.
This is a behavior I did not expect; I'm not sure if this is a design
feature or something else.

[Not sure why you sent this to R-help rather than R-bugs or R-devel.] It is a bug, and is now fixed in R-patched and R-devel.
