MATLAB: Error using mouse scroll with zoom on

I get the following error message under scrolling the mouse wheel with zoom on:
Error while evaluating Figure WindowScrollWheelFcn
Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.
Error in matlab.graphics.interaction.hitAxes>removeAxesInOffscreenContainers (line 63)

Error while evaluating Figure WindowScrollWheelFcn
The problem is cause by the parent of the axes, in my case an uitab object. If the parent is a figure, it works fine. I defined a figure 'WindowScrollWheelFcn', but the debugger doesn't reach the function. The error comes before.
hfig = figure(...
'WindowScrollWheelFcn',{@figScroll});
Is there a way to get this working on axes within a uitab? Or how can I disable mouse wheel gestures with zoom = on? I use Matlab R2014b.
Thank you for your help!
EDIT – Here is a small example who reproduces the error:
hfig = figure(1);
% Tab group
tabgp = uitabgroup(...
'Parent',hfig,...
'Position',[0 0 1 1]);
Tab1 = uitab(...
'Parent',tabgp,...
'Title','Plot');
axh = axes(...
'Parent',Tab1,...
'Units','normalized',...
'Position',[0.1 0.1 0.8 0.8]);
% plot
plot(axh,1:100,randn(100,1))
zoom(hfig,'on')
uiwait(hfig);

Best Answer

I think that bug's fixed in R2015b.
