Matlab freezes. I am using mac Apple M2 Max. OSX sonoma

plot(1:10,1:10) does plot a line but when I try to close it directly on the screen matlab freezes. This also happens when there are more than one fgures on the window. Lets say, there are two figures, if I try to close figure 2 first than matlab freezes but if I close the figures in order like figure 1 first then figure 2, matlab seems works fine.

Are you using the experimental desktop? The one that allows Dark Theme ?

Thanks for the update. I just installed Matlab2023b for Apple M2 chip. I'm not sure if it is the experimental one.is there a way to check it?

According to my experience, the figure order is not relevant, but it is as follows: if the Matlab figure is partially covered by another figure (or covered by any other window, not necessarily a Matlab figure), then it is possible to close the figure placed in the background (which is partially covered) without problems. If you have two Matlab figures and try to close the figure in the foreground, (which is fully visible, not partially covered), then Matlab freezes.

This is a known bug with R2023b (and also older releases) on Sonoma, officially acknowledged by the MathWorks Support Team. See this question/answer for lots of folks discussing it.

Regarding Walter's question, you are probably not using the "New Desktop", because the specific figure-closing bug does not occur there.
