MATLAB: MATLAB scaling issue on high-resolution (high DPI) displays

dpihigh-resolution displayMATLABscalingwindows 8windows 8.1

Hi there,
I have just installed MATLAB R2014a on my 13.3" laptop with a resolution of 3200*1800, running on Windows 8.1.
When I start MATLAB it opens in a scaled window, and menu bars and the editor windows are somewhat blurry. At some point (from one to 15 minutes) the window resizes and the scaling turns off. Editing windows and menu bars are now illegibly small due to the bad dpi support of MATLAB i presume. I have the feeling that the display change it is related to right-clicks, but am not sure about that.
Has anyone ever experienced similar problems? Does MATLAB support high-resolution displays and I haven't found the checkbox to click? Is there any option (I guess in Windows) to force scaling?
I could work on a blurry scaled screen, but not when the system changes unexpectedly.
Cheers, and thanks in advance.

There is a workaround now available in R2015a release of MATLAB that partially resolves the issues with blurriness and sizing of the MATLAB Desktop on Windows platform. The workaround patch can be downloaded from Bug Report ID 1054442.
