Bug introduced in 7.0 or earlier and persisting through 11.3

In this simple code 

ListPlot[Table[Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi, .1}], PlotRange -> {0, 0.5},
 Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, ClippingStyle -> None, Frame -> True]

enter image description here

We can see that there are two PlotMarkers appear at the clipped boundary. But actually there are not points, so they should not exist. How can we remove them? I have already used ClippingStyle -> None.

Update

As Alexey Popkov pointed out, this is really a bug. If we play with this code

data = {Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 1.05 Pi, .1}], Table[{x, Sin[2 x]}, {x, 0, 1.05 Pi, .1}]};
ListPlot[data, PlotRange -> {0, 0.5}, Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, Medium}]

enter image description here

Now, even the same plot marker will be used for all data sets at the clipped boundaries, both top and bottom.

    $\begingroup$ I think this behavior should be considered as a bug: the combination of Joined -> True with PlotMarkers -> Automatic and default values for ClippingStyle and PlotRangePadding produces spurious plot markers at the edges of plot. Here is better example: ListPlot[Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 1.05 Pi, .1}], PlotRange -> {0, 0.5}, Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Coolwater, good guess, thanks! None vs False, I remember there are similar cases, but can't exactly recall them for now. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ PlotRangePadding -> None works too. It's documented, but not on the list of options in ListPlot-documentation, so you need to evaluate "ListPlot//Options" to find it $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ FYI: ClippingStyle -> None does not work in v7, but False does. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ X is varied from 0 to Pi i.e 3.14 but in the plot 30.4, why it is so can anybody tell me? $\endgroup$

This seems to be fixed in 12.1.1 (at the latest):
