panel.border removes axis lines

[fromdputto]

using

theme(panel.border = element_blank())

removes the x and y axis lines from the plot and plot is left without any axis lines!!

df <- data.frame(x=seq(1:100), y=seq(1:100))
plot = ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_point() 
plot+ theme_bw() +theme(panel.border = element_blank())

This is related to #1565 and #1567. It should be fixed shortly by #1581. Until then you can use the work around
plot + theme_bw() + theme(panel.border = element_blank(), axis.line.x = element_line(), axis.line.y = element_line())

Closing because it's a duplicate.
