Using MatLab 2022b, I am .txt files are grayed out when I use 'uigetfile' function on the newest Mac operation system 'Monterey' V 12.6.1

I am running MatLab R2022b on a Macbook Pro running the OS Monterey V12.6.1

when I evalulate:

[fileName,pathName] = uigetfile({'*.txt.gz';'*.txt';'*.*'}, 'Select input file');

The popup window opens to select a file, I click on Options and Enable 'All files' or .txt files it doesn't 'ungray'/enable anything obvious (there are .txt files in many directories...).

I've checked the MathWorks support sight and this problem has been reported previously as early as R2019

Please help!

Interesting. I see that it is specific to osx only as I don't see it in R2019a on win7, but very much there on BigSur. Putting multiple filter spec inside flower braces seems to make it dysfunctional.

I don't have a complete solution, but it seems that putting *.* up front helps.

[fileName,pathName] = uigetfile({'*.*';'*.txt.gz';'*.txt';}, 'Select input file');
