MATLAB: How to avoid rrbox to generate black root window

MATLABmatlab2016brbboxwindows10

Using the simple program
figure(1);
set(gcf,'Units','normalized')
k = waitforbuttonpress;
rect_pos = rbbox;
annotation('rectangle',rect_pos,'Color','red')
and press the mouse button in the figure, all above the cursor becomes black (sometimes some old figures and part of Matlab IDE is visible)
ones I release the button and move the mouse over black parts, they return back to normal.
I'm using 2016b on Windows 10
Some advice on how to proceed is appreciated
