Why does MATLAB crash when docking the MATLAB Editor, Live Editor, or Help Browser on macOS 13 (Ventura)?

When running MATLAB on macOS 13 Ventura, undocking and then redocking the MATLAB Editor, Live Editor, or Help Browser causes MATLAB to crash. This is an issue with MATLAB running through Rosetta on Apple silicon machines (M1 chips) and on Intel Macs.

This is a bug that involves MATLAB crashing on macOS when redocking the live editor. The live editor can be successfully undocked, but when it is redocked it causes a crash. When MATLAB is reopened, the window is still undocked. 

This only seems to occur on macOS 13, mostly on the Apple Silicon CPUs (M1, M2, etc.) and has been observed in R2022b, R2022a, and R2021b.

You can follow the bug report for this from the link below, which states that updating R2022b to Update 4 or R2022a to Update 6 will resolve the issue.
