Appdesigner 2023a vs 2023b auto-updates codes that breaks app UI - Matlab bug?

At work I have Matlab 2023a and at home I have 2023b. When working on an app using appdesigner on the different systems Matlab auto-updates necessary code for compatability reasons, I guess. However, below is only changes made (purple line) which of course breaks my UI by making some UIAxes behave differently than intended. Apart from changing where the definition of one of my UIAxes happends, which I'm sure is important, Matlab seemingly arbitrarily changes the .GridAlpha property. Is this a bug in Matlab?

I'm looking into updating Matlab, but that might break other compatability in different projects. Any other suggestions on how to deal with this?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Linus,

I tried to replicate the issue you reported. In my case, the GridAlpha value remained constant during the transition from R2023a to R2023b.

When you observe changes like the ones you've described it's typically not due to a bug. Instead, this behavior can be attributed to MATLAB's efforts to maintain compatibility and incorporate improvements across its versions.

If you believe an automatic adjustment is adversely affecting your app's functionality or if you suspect it might be a bug, consider providing feedback to MathWorks. They can offer specific guidance particularly in situations where sharing your files publicly may not be preferable.

I see. Well then, if I see this pop-up again I'll make sure to note the situation and see if I can reliably replicate it and submit feedback. Thanks for taking your time on this problem!
