GUI issue with MATLAB on Windows #13

Closed extall closed 1 year ago

There is an issue with text fields in, e.g., fotfid identification tool in MATLAB R2021a/b (other versions not yet checked) running on Windows platform. Specific details are being investigated. But if something like this is seen (see image), it is that bug.

It seems that the issue affects Add-on installations of the toolbox. Hence, if you encounter this issue, please use the Github version of the toolbox until the issue is resolved.

The same issue is encountered in Windows 10. Therefore, it looks like a general issue with the Add-on version of the toolbox. Updated the issue accordingly.

Traced to a conflict between two differen poly2str functions. When installed as an add-on, the poly2str function which comes bundled with MATLAB on path, e.g., MATLAB/R20xxx/toolbox/control/ctrlobsolete/ takes precedence over the FOMCON function having the same name.

So it is not a GUI issue per se, it's some weird path problem. Looking for a fix without breaking compatibility.
