I know that IDL will change the type or size of an array if you assign the wrong things to it, but this is ridiculous behavior on the part of a function/subroutine. It would make a lot more sense for the routine to crash when the wrong inputs are used.

Hi,
This has been fixed for IDL 8.3.1. BOXPLOT will still be nice and accept your 12x5 array (for backwards compatibility) but it won't mess up your input variable.
Thanks for catching it!
Cheers,
