Typing problem Matlab R2019a

Hello,

Every time I have to use the 'power' symbol ^ it is written two times. For example, I want to type x^2, and in the Matlab editor I write x^ and when I push the '2' button, another ^ is written instead of the 2, x^^, so I have to delete this symbol and write the 2, which is very unconfortable when writting long equations. I am using Matlab R2019a on Mac.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Thank you!

What is your system Language set to? What kind of keyboard are you using?

[Germán Herreros]

My system language is set to Spanish, and Matlab is set to English. The version of iOS is Mojave 10.14.5, and the keyboard is "butterfly", from a macbook pro bought last month. The problem only appears in Matlab, in any other program it works fine.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is a known problem and has been resolved in the R2019b release.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem and I am using Matlab R2020b on Mac. So apparently this problem has not been solved yet. Is there any way to solve it on my own or do I have to wait for an update? (I just checked updates and I have the newest version).

Thank you in advance.
