MATLAB: Does MATLAB R2011a (7.12) crash when I type QUIT after plotting a specific image, while it works fine otherwise

Question

I am running MATLAB on a linux machine that I am remotely accessing. When I type "plot(rand(9,223),'b+')" followed by "quit" on the Command Window, MATLAB crashes. In all other cases it works fine.

Answer 1

The issue is due to outdated graphics card drivers. Updating the drivers that are being used for displaying the figures should help in avoiding this behavior.
