Why does clicking Edit > Axis Properties cause the figure to vanish irrecoverably from display? (Windows 10, Surface Pro 4 + Surface Dock)

3 views (last 30 days)
I was trying to edit tick marks using the figure's Graphical User Interface. When I click Edit > Axis Properties to try to set the tick marks manually, the figure vanishes from screen, as if on some other monitor that isn't connected, and I cannot bring it up to display on my monitors, even by Windows key + arrow key keyboard shortcut.
I suspect it is yet another Surface Pro 4 + Surface Dock error (I have two monitors connected), but perhaps you know more?
figure
hold on
for loop = 1:NoOfStructures
[Dose,blur,plan] = GetDVHData(structures{loop},data);
percenterror = (blur - plan)./plan*100;
plot(Dose,percenterror)
end
title('Percent Deviation of Mean Blurred Dose from Mean Planned Dose')
xlabel('Dose, Gy(RBE)')
ylabel('Percent Blurring Deviates from Plan, %')
legend(structures,'location','best')

Yes, it happened every time I tried on the Surface Pro 4. I am now using a MacBook Pro and trying just now, the problem did not occur (the GUI to edit the figure opened normally).

Edit->Axes Properties causes the figure to dock into the Figures group, opening a group window if necessary. If you are simply not seeing the figure or if the group window is somehow hidden, you can go to the top right corner of the axis property window and choose the undock button as a small arrow which wil undock the figure out of that window.
