Development Environment Problems
Many Open Windows Can Cause a Crash or Hang (Windows 98/Me)
On Microsoft Windows 98/Me platforms, if you keep many windows open, MATLAB may crash or hang. For example, if you keep open about 12 Stateflow windows, or 25 figure windows, or 50 Simulink windows, you may experience this problem. Note that these numbers are only estimates; the actual number of open windows that may cause this problem depends on the resources currently in use by other components and applications.
Maximized Desktop Window Not Remembered on Startup
When you start MATLAB, the desktop configuration is the same as when you last closed MATLAB. However, if the desktop was maximized when you closed MATLAB, it is not maximized upon startup.
Workspace Browser with Over 1000 Variables
If there are over 1000 variables in the workspace and the Workspace browser is open, you might experience performance problems. It is suggested you close the Workspace browser if you expect to have over 1000 variables in the workspace.
Help Browser Doesn't Support Mouse Wheel
The wheel on your mouse will not work in the Help browser.
UNIX Display Problems when UNIX Client and Server Platforms Differ
If you run on UNIX and the platform for the server is different than that for the client, there may be problems with the display of graphics on the client. See the Technical Support Web page for a solution that lists the combinations tested and any known display problems with them.
UNIX Help Browser Search Results Not Highlighted
On UNIX systems, when you perform a full text search using the Help browser, the search returns all of the pages that contain the search term, however the search term is not highlighted when you view a page. To find the term on a page, use the Find in page field in the Help browser display pane.
Sun Solaris 16-Bit Display Not Supported
Sun's Java VM for Solaris does not support 16-bit displays. Therefore you cannot use this configuration with Release 12. Use another display mode instead.
Sun Solaris Arrow Keys Not Working
On some Sun Solaris systems, the arrow keys on the main keyboard are not working properly. Instead, try the arrow keys in the numeric keypad.
ALPHA Shortcut Problems When Using Emacs Key Bindings in Editor
On the Alpha platform, if you set the Editor/Debugger preference for key bindings to Emacs, the shortcuts for Undo (Ctrl+_) and Copy (~+W) do not work.
Display Problems with Xoftware
If you use Xoftware on a PC to run MATLAB on a UNIX platform, you need to do the following to avoid display problems:
Concurrent Window Manager.
