Why does scaling a figure eliminate part of it?

I have a bunch of graphics produced by SAS software. When I put them in my document using e.g.

      \begin{figure}[H]
        \includegraphics[scale = 1]{FitPlot}
         \caption{Parameters by quantile}
       \label{G:fitplot1}
  \end{figure}

they are fine and there is a line around the entire figure. But when I scale them, e.g.,

      \begin{figure}[H]
        \includegraphics[scale = 0.75]{FitPlot}
         \caption{Parameters by quantile}
       \label{G:fitplot1}
  \end{figure}

there is a line around only three sides (top, left and right).

I tried different scales and I tried adding vspace but nothing helped.

The same thing happens with many different figures.

I'd like to be able to scale my figures and keep the box.

EDIT: I also asked this on Quora. That has the figure and it is here:

Rounding errors, perhaps. Can you make the image available for experimenting? – egreg Jan 03 '15 at 16:19

This may depend on the zoom level of your viewer as well. – Werner Jan 03 '15 at 16:27
@egreg How should I make the image available? – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 17:25

May be is a problem of the metadata of the image. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/10399/11604 – Fran Jan 03 '15 at 18:07
@PeterFlom I downloaded the image from Quora, but have no problem when scaling it at 75%. – egreg Jan 03 '15 at 19:01
@egreg That is very odd. Thanks for trying. – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 20:34
@PeterFlom Is the image I downloaded exactly the same as yours? Sometimes in the uploading process something can be modified. – egreg Jan 03 '15 at 20:35
@egreg looks identical to me. – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 20:43
@PeterFlom Click here for seeing what I get with scale=0.75. What TeX distribution are you using? – egreg Jan 03 '15 at 20:46
I am using WinEdt on Windows 7 and Tex Live (which I got from TUG). – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 20:56
@werner Zooming in fixed it. How strange! Thanks. If you make your comment an answer, I will accept it. – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 21:22
@PeterFlom: Zooming would not affect the printing, only the visual on your screen in the viewer. Right? – Werner Jan 03 '15 at 21:24
Printing is now working OK. Thanks @Werner. I could swear it didn't work once. – Peter Flom Jan 03 '15 at 21:36

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was about a viewer artifact at certain zoom levels, not a (La)TeX issue. – Paul Gessler Jan 31 '15 at 14:51
