Known Software and Documentation Problems
This section updates the MATLAB 6.1 documentation set, reflecting known
MATLAB 6.1 software and documentation problems. It is organized into the
following subsections:
•“Development Environment Problems” on page 2-32
•“Documentation Updates” on page 2-33
Development Environment Problems
Displaying Results From lookfor Function
When you run the lookfor function, press Ctrl+C to display the results in the
command window.
Many Open Windows Can Cause a Crash or Hang (Windows 95/98/Me)
On Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me platforms, if you keep many windows open,
MATLAB may crash or hang. For example, if you keep open 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.
Cannot Go To Top Level of UNC Path
For Windows platforms, you cannot use cd or any directory tool in the
MATLAB desktop (including the Current Directory browser and Set Path
dialog box) to access the top level of a UNC path.
Workspace Browser with Many Variables
If there are many variables in the workspace and the Workspace browser is
open, you may experience performance problems. If you expect to have more
than 1000 variables in the workspace, close the Workspace browser to avoid
performance problems.
UNIX Display Problems When UNIX Client and Server Platforms Differ
If you use MATLAB 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
