MATLAB: Osx El Capitan Matlab 2015a in full screen

2015ael capitanmacMATLABosxsimulinkworkspaces

Hi All,
This weekend, I updated my rMBP to osx El Capitan. Since then, when I operate Matlab 2015a in full screen mode, every time when I open a simulink file, or plot a large figure, it opens it in full screen as well. In a separate workspace. Then, when I try to close it, I am left in a completely black workspace. Of course, not really a significant problem, but it is getting annoying. Also because cmd+~ does not work anymore to switch from the opened simulink file/figure/whatever back to the command window.
The problem does not arise when matlab is in its standard non-full screen mode. AFAIK, i didn't change vital workspace settings after the update to El Cap.
Anybody already had the same 'problem'?
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Timo

While R2015b is supported on Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), full screen dialog boxes is a known issue. It is listed under item 4 of: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/246135
Instead of using full screen mode, I would advise to resize the window manually or maximize the window using the Alt button, I believe that uses the old-style maximize behavior.
