Why am I unable to resize a group of curves in a figure plot by simultaneously highlighting and setting the line properties in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)?

In previous versions of MATLAB, when there was a figure with several lines or curves plotted, the width of the lines could be changed all at once by highlighting all of the lines in the figure, right-clicking the mouse, and changing the LineWidth property. In MATLAB 7.0 (R14), this functionality is no longer available. While all lines can be highlighted, when the LineWidth property is changed, only the most recent highlighted line will be changed.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) in the way that MATLAB handles setting the properties of multiple selected objects.
To work around this issue, with the figure window open, change the line width of multiple lines at once by following these steps:
1. Click the 'Show Plot Tools' icon on the figure window. This icon is usually located at the far right of the Figure Toolbar. When pressed, the figure window will expand showing additional plot tools.
2. Highlight all of the lines you want to modify using the shift key as you did in previous MATLAB releases. The Property Editor window, located at the bottom of the figure window, will indicate that there are multiple objects selected.
3. Use the options within the Property Editor to adjust the properties of the selected objects. These options include changing the line width and color. All highlighted objects should change at once.
