Command window sometimes disappears after maximizing editor

I would double click the editor to maximize it to have more space for debugging. After that, I double click the editor again to bring command window back. Occassionally, the command window just diseappered. Even if I chose to HOME-->Layout-->Default, the command windows is still missing.

This happens nearly every day, which is truly annoying. I only experienced this on windows11 using R2023a.

@MathWorks Support Team May I ask whether this is fixed or not? This command window disappearancec not only happens when double clicking editor, but also happens when clicking a link in command window. The link is something like

Error in myFunction (line 1)

which is auto generated by matlab when error happens. 90% of time, the command window would disappear after clicking the link. What's more annoying is that I cannot close the Matlab window by using the upper right "X" button after that. I have to use Windows task manager to end matlab.

Are you using Windows 11 ?

[Xingwang Yong]

Yes, I am using win11.

This also happens regularly for me with R2023b on Windows 10. I sometimes maximize the command window to look through an error stack and then click on a link, it correctly opens the corresponding code file but then the command window is gone with some probability. As mentioned by @Xingwang Yong, Matlab is then usually in a state where exit will not successfully close it and I have to quit it from the task manager.

Happens to me on R2023b Windows 10 as well. It just randomly started happening one day. Command Window still doesn't show up when I go to Home > Environment > Layout and change the layout. Have to close and reopen Matlab every time. At first it only happened when I click on a link in the error stack (like the scenario described by Jan Brunner). Maybe I should just reinstall the app.

Edit: Uninstalled R2023b and reinstalled R2024a instead and seems to work so far.

Edit 2: One day later, problem is back...

@Xingwang Yong, @Jan Brunner, @Duncan L - I would suggest you to submit a (bug) report to TMW Technical Support via this link - Contact Support. Also, attach this thread alongside the query.
