Error in GUIDE after upgrade to Matlab 2015a

Hi,

I'm started to do a program with GUIDE in matlab EDU 2014a (Mac version), and aways send it to a friend with Matlab 2013a (Windows version) to test it. But now... after upgrade... when he tries to open the .fig in GUIDE, an error is occurring:

Error using struct2handle
Width and height must be > 0

Error in hgloadStructDbl (line 95)
h = struct2handle(hgS, parent, flags{:});

Error in C:Program Files\MATLAB\R2013A\toolbox\matlab\graphics\hgload.p>hgload (line 70)

Error in guidefunc>newGuideFig (line 2250)
    [fig,old_vas] = haloed(filename, overrides);

Error in guidefunc>readSavedFigure (line 2657)
[fig, unsavedtemplate] = newGuideFig(layout_ed, filename);

Error in guidefunc (line 113)
        varargout = readSavedFigure(varargin{:});

Error in guide (line 134)
    result = LayoutEditor.openLayoutEditor(filename);

Ps. I sent it to another person with Matlab 2014a and he had the same error.

Hi Tomaz, I know there were significant changes in the graphics system with 2014b that caused our software to require some significant changes.

Have you seen the article http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2014/11/05/matlab-r2014b-graphics-part-3-compatibility-considerations-in-the-new-graphics-system/

There is a tool described there to identify and make some of the changes.

We did that and have a GUIDE based app that works fine with 2014b but doesn't start with 2015a. I'm searching for help on why that is so I don't know if that article will solve all your problems.

After some more reading, I'll probably ask my own question assuming I don't get lucky.
