MATLAB: MATLAB only responds when window is resized

mac

I have a bizarre problem. MATLAB will only update the screen when I resize the window. It appears to respond to what I type but I can't tell what I've typed or the response from MATLAB (it literally does not show on the screen) until I resize the MATLAB window. I'm using R2012b on Mac OSX 10.8. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times already. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the tip Eli. Although I wasn't able to locate the folder you specified, your clue led me to remember that I had installed a Java update earlier in the day. And sure enough, that update was the problem. I found a solution at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 and all is well now. Thanks!
