View and Commit Changes dialog is blank

Hello,

I would like to view and commit changes to github via Matlab source control. However, if I right-click on the changed m.file which is indicated with a blue square / modified and then choose "View and Commit Changes..." there is no dialog window appearing. The only thing that changed is that a blank window appears in the taskbar (see screenshot). However ,it does not appear on the desktop. Can someone help me to debug this?

edit: I also realized that "fetch" does nothing if I click on it... there is no dialog window appearing anywhere.

I have already reinstalled MATLAB 2020a and also the gitforwindows program according to this instruction: https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/set-up-git-source-control.html#use_ssh_authentication

This note might help somebody else in the future...

I just had the exact same problem. Found a work-around: in the taskbar, hover over the blank window and right click "maximize".

That worked for me. Thank you @Ornit

Hi Yangfan,

Looks like an installation problem to me. For any problems related to installation, Contact Support !

They help with installation and setup problems for all MATLAB licenses. More information on Service Requests in this FAQ.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I had the same problem with 2020b (win10) when using 2 displays with the main matlab windows moved to the secondary display (I can't maximize the commit window in 2020b). After moving matlab to the primary display the commit window showed up again.

Best, Konrad
