We have recently upgraded to matlab 2012b and horrified - can't find any menu items! Have spent 20 minutes fiddling with the ribbon but still unable to find the undo/redo button.
Please could you tell me how to restore the menus? I know it must be possible because it reappears when I enter a figure window!
Thanks Sanjay

You can't go back to the old menus of R2012a and before. The undo button is in toolstrip in the far upper right of the screen. It's the U-turn arrow icon.

I hardly remember what it was like before.
Most of the extra screen real-estate can be collapsed down.
It is the nature of programs that user interfaces tend to bloat, as users tend to expect that more and more be done for them. Things like syntax coloring or real-time syntax checking take up CPU cycles but people pretty much demand them now.
There was a time when I had to be concerned about whether the "decoration" features of my editor (such as incremental search) were interfering with the performance of the computer significantly enough that I could not justify the improvement in my productivity compared to the needs of others. But you know, that time has been gone for over 30 years.
These days, if I am worried about whether my work in an editor is slowing the machine unjustly, then it is because I am trying to run enough large programs simultaneously that my system has had to swap out at least 3 gigabytes of virtual memory to disk and the swapping is bogging down my system. However, in such cases, it is not the editor that is most important: it is the performance and memory usage patterns of the math or symbolic libraries.
