MATLAB: Do I receive a “java.lang​.NullPoint​erExceptio​n” error in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) after closing a dialog generated by the INPUTDLG function

Question

I create an input dialog box with the following code:

prompt={'Enter the matrix size for x^2:','Enter the colormap name:'};
name='Input for Peaks function';
numlines=1;
defaultanswer={'20','hsv'};
answer=inputdlg(prompt,name,numlines,defaultanswer)

When I click on the canel button I receive the following error:
