MATLAB: Does the plot object disappear when I manipulate it using the camera toolbar in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

2-dcameracamvamanualMATLABzoom

I type the following code at the MATLAB command prompt:
peaks; 
view(2); 
axis equal; 
camva manual;
cameratoolbar;
The figure appears but when I use the camera toolbar, any major manipulation causes parts or the whole map to disappear. For example when I use the "Zoom Camera" tool and zoom in and out on the axes, the contents of the axes disappear.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006a (R2006a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that the manual mode of the CAMVA function interacts with the plot aspect ratio.
As a workaround, use the automatic mode of the CAMVA function. For example :
peaks; 
view(2); 
axis equal; 
camva auto;
cameratoolbar;
By making the camera view angle mode "automatic", manipulations of views of the figure should work as expected.
