It's not a bug, but just as the others said: points, colors, patterns,
... cycle between a standard set (if you use more pattern types than
defined, they'll start repeating).

But what makes me wonder: I got a different pattern (fewer repetitions). See

PS: In the case that you're willing to invest some time into
suggesting & testing, please let me know. I would like to make those
patterns configurable (in another terminal), but I don't use/like
patterns so much and I have no idea about how a representative set
(and alternative patterns to choose from) should look like. I
implemented points and colors so that they can very easily be
configured, but there are infinite possibilities for patterns and I
don't know where to start from.
