In GUIDE, when adding an ActiveX control element to the canvas, a list of available controls pops up.
When going through the list with the arrow keys, MATLAB crashes reproducibly for several different entries.

The reason MATLAB crashes is that there are issues with the Dynamically Linked Library (DLL) that contains the ActiveX control element that is part of the operating system. Note that this behavior can also occur when using "actxcontrol" to add an ActiveX control to a figure outside of GUIDE.
There are no workarounds to prevent MATLAB from crashing due to faulty ActiveX control DLLs.
