The GUI action that I did was to click on the rotate tool (at the top of
the figure window), then to click on the figure and attempt to rotate
it.
It messes up my terminal such that I have to 'reset' before I can see
what I type, while it's at it. I notably don't get the "submit this to
mathworks" crash message; it just exits.
I can reproduce it on fnf (another 9.4 linux machine), with a test
account; I can't reproduce it on a 9.3 machine (rotating the figure
functions correctly). In all cases, it's slightly sluggish to give me
the rotation icon as my cursor; I end up clicking several times, perhaps
simply because I'm impatient.
strace doesn't suggest that it's trying to access any new files, when
the rotate functionality is used, but beyond that, I'm in the dark.
