MATLAB: Edit Matlab Package Contents

Question

I'm encountering a really obnoxious issue previously posted on the Matlab answers board here:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/72448-guide-property-inspector-problem-in-r2013a

Where trying to use the property inspector in GUIDE R2013a causes the program to hang on line 99 of SceneViewerListener.m

I think I can fix the problem by editing the SceneViewerListner internal file as described here:

http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/couple-of-bugs-and-workarounds

But the file is locked; it has remained fairly stubborn in response to my attempts at editing it.

Does anyone have a solution? I'm obviously open to alternatives to the method described above… But having Matlab enter debug mode every time I want to edit something in the property inspector is really slowing me down.

Thanks,

Run MATLAB as an Administrator (right click run as admin on Windows).
