MATLAB: Might the data cursor only displaying “Too Many Input Arguments” instead of the selected data

data cursor

Hi,
The data cursor in my MATLAB installation is displaying "Too Many Input Arguments" instead of the selected data. I only noticed the message recently, and I cannot pinpoint what would have changed with the machine or software to lead this. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on an AMD Processor.
Thanks in advance,
Elaine

I suggest you use
dbstop if error
to find out which routine exactly is being complained about. Then use "which -all" to find out where the routine lives.
Most commonly, this kind of error arises from having a user .m with the same name as one of the internal routines used by MATLAB.
