I am updating an old GUI created in 2004 (by someone else) to be usable again, and one of the main problems was that elements of the GUI overlapped: There are two plots and a set of uicontrol elements. I moved the positions of the uicontrols, but there is still overlap with the plots.
The left plot is Axes2, the right plot is Axes1, but the left one is used first.
The y-axis should be reversed, the x-axis normal, and the axis locations should be "left" and "bottom". The right plot is meant to have no yticklabels.
The problem, as you can probably see in the image, is that setting the Ydir-property to 'reverse' does not change the direction of the y-axis, but what happens is that Xdir is set to 'reverse' and the axis locations are changed to 'right' and 'top', and not even explicitly setting them to 'left' and 'bottom' moves them to the right place. The axis labels are also consequently in the wrong place. This is the code in the program that plots the data:

I haven't got a clue why this is happening and I'd be happy for some pointers as to what I could try to fix this. Could a be an issue with the 2015b release I'm using??
