Wrong coordinates in matlab 2015a figure editor

When using the data cursor in a figure, it selects the wrong data points since I updated to matlab 2015a EDU.

Menus and contextmenus open on wrong position somewhere on the screen too. Do other users have the same problem and how is it solved?

I have the exact same problem with 2014b. It is particularly obvious when you use the zoom before using the data cursor. I was using 2012a until recently, and it was working perfectly fine. I think it's a bug.

Hi,

I'm working with MatLab 2016a and the problem is still present.

A simple workaround that worked for me was to "dock" the figure in Matlab's main window (using the arrow at the top-right side of the figure's window) and then undock it.

Hope this helps,

Andrea
