R2014a Error Box Too many input arguments Always Appearing - Buggy.

I recently got R2014a on my computer from the previous version and whenever I try to run any command, such as "N=20;" or even click on the variable N in the variable workspace, it provides this error:

Message Box title: Variables Too many input arguments. fliplr 13

I'm thinking this particular Matlab version is buggy since no-where in my code, do I use the 'fliplr' function. Has anybody else has problems with it.

[Image Analyst]

No. No one else does. Assigning a value to N should not cause the fliplr() function to execute. Attach your script.

I typed in

           which -all flip

and in my directory that I had mapped there was a flip.m which was the same as two other

One in the distcomp\gpu\@gpuArray\flip.m and another in toolbox\matlab\elmat\flip

I renamed the flip in my directory to flip2 and looks like this has cleared it.

Hello, I have the same problem, I use flipud(fliplr(S)) in my function and I get the same error as you get all the time. I tried commenting this command on my code and still I get this error.

You likely have a different fliplr.m on the MATLAB search path that's preventing MATLAB from calling the version included in MATLAB and that fliplr.m doesn't behave the same way as the version of that function in MATLAB. Run the following command and look for any fliplr.m files that are not under the matlabroot directory.

which -all fliplr

/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/elmat/fliplr.m
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/bigdata/@tall/fliplr.m            % tall method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/gpu/@gpuArray/fliplr.m          % gpuArray method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/parallel/@distributed/fliplr.m  % distributed method

Line 13 of the fliplr function included in MATLAB calls flip so you may also want to check for a shadowing flip.m file.

dbtype 1:13 toolbox/matlab/elmat/fliplr.m

1     function x = fliplr(x)
2     %FLIPLR Flip array in left/right direction.
3     %   Y = FLIPLR(X) returns X with the order of elements flipped left to right
4     %   along the second dimension. For example,
5     %   
6     %   X = 1 2 3     becomes  3 2 1
7     %       4 5 6              6 5 4
