MATLAB: Am I unable to select a file when I use the UIGETFILE function and filter on “*.*” in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) on MacOS

'*.*'7.0.4filtermacMATLABuigetfile

When I use the UIGETFILE function and filter the files on "*.*", all of the files are grayed out and I cannot select any of them. This only occurs when using MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) on Mac. This occurs when I use the following command:
uigetfile('*.*')

There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) in the way that the UIGETFILE function grays out all files when it uses the "*.*" filter on Mac.
To work around this issue, use a different filter than "*.*".
