Hi, Mike.
I can't reproduce this with a test M-file on either an Ultra 5 (the type
from which you submitted the original bug report) or a Sparc 5
(everything's much slower of course, but the Tools menu works ok).
Preferences for the editor are stored in the ~/.windu directory; you
could try moving that aside before you start matlab, e.g.
mv ~/.windu ~/.windu-bak
and then try again. This should get you back to default settings.
If this fixes the problem, you can decide whether it's worth digging
through the .windu contents to try and get back old settings, or just
start fresh and keep an eye on any changes you make in case the problem
recurs. If you still have the problem, could you make a copy of your
M-file and .windu dir available to me?
