You have been subscribed to a public bug: OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: Matlab stays in busy state when using some functions like "plot" or even "exit", while executing through a ssh tunnel with X11 forwarding.
REPRODUCE THE BUG: You need matlab (my version is R2017a) to reproduce the bug. I suspect any version >= 2014b would reproduce the bug (HG2 framework), and maybe any version. 1. Connect to self (or from other machine) with X forwarding: $ ssh -X user@localhost 2. Launch matlab $ matlab & 3. Plot something >> plot(1,1) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Normal behavior would be appearance of a new window and a single point at position (1,1). - No ressources seem to be used. - Opening a figure alone is possible. (>> figure). Opening other windows from the graphical user interface is possible - Opening Matlab without the java machine seems to work, but matlab relies heavily on java. At least "exit" which doesn't work with java, works without java. - Providing Matlab with open-jdk version 1.8.0_144 didn't change anything. - This used to work perfectly for as long as I have been using Ubuntu (since 2012).
