2014b GUI editing becomes extremly slow

I'm having a very slow response of guide while editing my GUI. No issues during GUI execution. Editing was always a slow process, but since I updated to 2014b it became "extremely, impossible to work, slow”. Moving/ resizing objects in Guide, or simply updating Tag or String property in Inspector can take dozen of seconds or simply are not applied and must be performed few times to make sure it stick. Killing the Matlab can resolve the issue for a while. ‘profile summary’ reported these functions are being called a lot more than anything else(see attached pics):

       SceneViewerListener>SceneViewerListener.isBeingDeleted
       Utils>Utils.compare

Does anyone else experienced same behavior? What are these functions? Can I somehow stop them to see if it improves the guide response time ?

I'm working on Matlab 2014b-32b on Win7-64bit

I had (and am still having) similarly frustrating experiences with GUIDE:

but unfortunately there were no answers or suggestions for the problem.

I also experience this very slow response within GUIDE. Especially moving, resizing objects aswell as changing tab orders. In most cases the GUI will become so slow that it takes 15min to for example move a pushbutton or matlab crashes in the mean time. I experienced this behaviour in Matlab 2012b aswell.

Hopefully there will be a fix soon....

I am also having this problem.

Same problem. This GUIDE tool is essentially unusable to edit a GUI. It has taken several hours to simply copy a few edit boxes and align them.

The same issue happens for me. I would suggest exporting the GUI as .m and doing all modifications directly on the code.

Same issue here. The GUIDE clearly needs some fixes to make things more responsive.

I have the same issue. It's especially bad when my uicontrols have the units "normalized" and I select a few of them. If I only do one action (move, resize), save, then close and re-open GUIDE, it helps. I've updated my quadro graphics drivers several times, but that has not helped. Running 64-bit MATLAB, same issue on Win 7 pro, Win 8, Win 10.
