Plot legend goes behing plot axes when using tiledlayout

I am generating several plots with legends on one figure using tiledlayout(). While the plot looks correct, the legends disappear behind the axes when I try to move them. The issue appears to be the same as described in this question, although I did not have any success with the fix:

Why does legend goes to the back of the axes box in multiplots if you click it or move it with the mouse?

The minimimum code that produces the issue is below. I get the same results when I omit the object handles.

t = tiledlayout(2, 1);

ax1 = nexttile(t);

pt1 = plot(ax1, 0:10, 0:10);

lg1 = legend(ax1, 'Plot 1');

ax2 = nexttile(t);

pt2 = plot(ax2, 0:10, 0:10);

lg2 = legend(ax2, 'Plot 2');

FWIW, I am unable to reproduce this in 2023b and 2024a. I don't have 2023a installed.

Updating to 2023b seems to have resolved the issue.

The issue you are experiencing with legends disappearing behind the axes when moved in a tiledlayout can be addressed by setting the 'AutoUpdate' property of the legends to 'off'. This prevents the legends from updating automatically and helps maintain their visibility when moved.

t = tiledlayout(2, 1);

% First tile
ax1 = nexttile(t);
pt1 = plot(ax1, 0:10, 0:10);
lg1 = legend(ax1, 'Plot 1');
set(lg1, 'AutoUpdate', 'off'); % Prevents auto-updating of legend

% Second tile
ax2 = nexttile(t);
pt2 = plot(ax2, 0:10, 0:10);
lg2 = legend(ax2, 'Plot 2');
set(lg2, 'AutoUpdate', 'off'); % Prevents auto-updating of legend

Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue.
