I downloaded 2019a-git (win 64). The problem with the Add Random Variable menu command persists, as follows:
When trying to generate Uniform, Normal, Gamma, Binomial, Weibull, I still get the message <<-- no numeric conversion performed!>> When trying to generate Poisson I get the message <<you must give a name for the variable>>, even though I have typed a simple name like "X1" or "Z3" in the relevant box. When trying to generate Student's, Chi-square or F distributions, the command works. The randgen function continues to work fine in script mode.
