As you can see in the example image above, I am frequently (but not always) seeing broken line plots when I try to overlay them on top of another plot using Show.
This is especially common when plotting on top of a BoxWhiskerChart, like above, but I have seen similar artifacts with other combinations of graphics.
It seems like this is probably a bug, but is there a way to work around it?
EDIT: As requested, here is example data and code that reproduces the plot:

PlotRange -> Allfor the call toListLinePlot. – Brett Champion May 1 '12 at 19:16PlotRange -> Allbecause the axes are "inherited" from the first plot, but this does indeed fix it! Please write this as an answer so I can accept it. – Kaelin Colclasure May 1 '12 at 19:24
