Variables won't display correctly in new Matlab version
Show older comments
I recently switched from a server running 2018b to one running 2020b, and there's something screwy occuring with the way variables are displayed. Previously when a variable in the workspace was double-clicked, a spreadsheet-style table appeared in the editor permitting browsing of data. Now, just text appears starting with val = Columns 1 through 11, followed by the data in the same format that would have appeared in the command window.
Has anyone run into this before?

I seem to recall a posting roughly 3 months ago in which someone had this issue. My memory is claiming that they solved it by reinstalling.

It resolved when I completely reset my path to defaults

At the MATLAB command line
restoredefaultpath; rehash toolboxcache
and then test. If it works then
savepath

It looks like you've tried something like this.
val = zeros(117,5,'double','distributed');
Which gives output like this. But you can try like this.
val = zeros(117,5,'double');
Which gives outlike that you're expecting.
