Subplot error: No constructor 'handle.listener' with matching signature found. (Matlab 2014b)

Hi,

I just upgraded to Matlab 2014b, 64-bits on a windows 7 pc. I'm trying to make a figure with subplots, but I get an error, even when I just try to run the example from the Matlab documentation:

x = linspace(0,10);
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = sin(5*x);

figure
subplot(2,1,1);
plot(x,y1)

subplot(2,1,2);
plot(x,y2)

--------------------

No constructor 'handle.listener' with matching signature found.

Error in subplot>createListeners (line 495)
list = [...

Error in subplot>addAxesToGrid (line 549)
createListeners(p,handle(list));

Error in subplot (line 467)
        addAxesToGrid(ax,nrows,ncols,row,col,position);

A figure with axes for the first subplot is made, but nothing is plotted, if I now run the line

"plot(x,y1)" again, the line is plotted.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Your help is mostly appreciated!

I had the same issue, it turns out that in my libraries I was using a modified version of the subplot.m function (modified in the past for irrelevant reasons) and when trying to use the subplot, Matlab was using my command instead of the built-in one. So when you get the error, click on the error message with the line number and see which m-file is opened. Then just rename/delete that m-file and restart Matlab.

Thanks so much! This solved my problem!
