Problem within App Designer when selecting Label and UITable (Multiple Selection)

When selecting a Label and then a UITable (Multiple Selection) in App Designer (R2024a), Table selection does not work properly until App Designer full resart (not Matlab). Closing and re-opening the Project does not fix it.

More specifically, the Table can be selected and moved but the Properties section remains at the previously selected component.

It affects all UITable components, not only the one used for multiple selection.

This can be reproduced with a new App a UITable and a Label. See screenshots.

I was not able to reproduce the problem but I also am not entirely clear what problem to look for. If this problem persists,please contact tech support and include instructions how to reproduce the problem. Feel free to include the URL of this thread.

Thank you for trying and responding! Maybe you overlooked the right side of the screenshot? Unfortunately, my screenshot is too wide and you have to scroll right, my bad. Basically, when I select a Label (hold Ctrl) and click a UITable, I cannot edit the Properties of any UITable in the App Designer until restart. I asked a friend to try it on his Matlab and he can reproduce it.

I am also facing the similar issue.

Hi @Alexander Fenichiu,

I was able to reproduce this issue in MATLAB version R2024a. I tried but could not find any workaround for this issue.

However after upgarding to MATLAB version R2025a pre-release, I observed that this issue no longer persists.

The feature seems to be working as expected in 25a pre-release, and will likely work in the final release when it comes. Upgrading the MATLAB version to R2025a when its final release is out should help you resolve this issue.

Thanks.
