Why does app.UIAxes.CurrentPoint shift when I scroll in AppDesigner?

I use "UIFigureWindowButtonUp(app, event)" to let user click on the UIAxes which will then plot a vertical line when they click.

For whatever reason, the verical plot has an offset if I scroll in the GUI and then click.

I am using "app.UIAxes.CurrentPoint" in order to indicate where along the x-axis the vertical line should be placed.

Any sugestions?

what version of matlab are you using? it used to be that if you had a uiaxes embedded inside a tab layout or something that the CurrentPoint would not be accurate...no idea if it is related.

do you get the correct result if you scroll, then wait a while, and then click?

I'm using 2021a.

If I wait a while the problem still persists. It appears that CurrentPoint is taking into account the entire GUI as a whole and not just the UIAxes embedded in the GUI.

Is there an alterantive to CurrentPoint that I can use? I used to use Ginput in GUIDE, but it appears that's not supported in appdesigner.

hmm, that's weird. my issue was in an older version, like 2018b or something, but it was pretty specific to a tab layout or gridlayout or something...maybe it's a bug (again) and mathworks team can investigate
