drag drop a .mat file to the command window in 2025a update 1 become cd('the_file.mat') instead of load('the_file.mat')

drag the file from the 'Files' tab to the command window still works.

drag the file to the ;workspace' tab also still works.

drag the file from windows to the command window become 'cd' thus throw an error.

is this intentional design change?

so now I have to aim better when drop a file otherwise matlab throws an error?

Hey @Felix,

I was also able to replicate this issue. Looks like it is a bug in Update 1 of R2025a.
