Why does MATLAB 6.5 (R13) produce a matlab.exe application error when I use "DefaultTextCreateFcn"?

Why does MATLAB 6.5 (R13) produce a matlab.exe application error when I use "DefaultTextCreateFcn"?

MATLAB crashes on a PLOT command in the following example.

The code is:

set(0,'DefaultTextCreateFcn',...

     'text(''interpreter'',''none'')')

[A B]=xlsread('fig6_waves.xls');    % A=data B=text

S=size(A);                          % 512 x 12

close all;

for ii=1:S(2)-1

      figure

      plot(A(:,1), A(:,ii+1));

      xlabel(B(1), 'interpreter', 'none');

      Title(B(ii+1), 'interpreter', 'none');

      ylabel('cents');

end

When it reaches that line, MATLAB crashes with the following dialog:

 matlab.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.

 You will need to restart the program.

 An error log is being created.

This behavior occurs when you use the set(0,'DefaultTextCreateFcn','text(''interpreter'',''none'')') command in conjunction with plot. Our development staff is investigating this issue.

Currently, to work around this issue, remove the SET command for the DefaultTextCreateFcn at the start of the code; this prevents MATLAB from crashing.
