R2013a on Windows 8 and 8.1 - help/documentation pages garbled and ugly (lack CSS)

Hi,

I thought I'd ask before raising a ticket. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 8 and then to 8.1, the help pages from Matlab R2013a appear as if no CSS has been loaded. Viewing the individual html file in Firefox however, it shows fine. Also, search results from the main window are displayed in the help with proper css formatting, but a specific page is not. I tried running Matlab as admin as well, but it made no difference.

Here are some screenshots:

• https://dl.dropbox.com/s/okzfgjmeqwxzmku/matlab-help-page-2.png

Firefox shows the same file just fine:

If I search the doc from the Matlab main window, the search results also show fine:

but clicking on "zeros", it opens a garbled page, as in the first 3 links.

Any clues?

Cheers.

Same here. I have posted this here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/332327

Apparently, they are working on a fix. No news yet. :(

Hi,

It's all covered by MathWorks here.

The patch provided there doesn't work for windows 7 64 bit

In windows 7 you can fix this problem by rolling back IE 11 to IE <= 10.
