Why am I not able to remove an existing layout grid from a FIG-file in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)?

I create a plot and activate the layout grid by toggling Tools->View Layout Grid to select the option. I save this figure as a FIG-file.

When I open the FIG-file, I am unable to remove the layout grid by toggling Tools->View Layout Grid.

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is a bug in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a) in the way the View Layout Grid callback function toggles layout grids in saved FIG-files.

To work around this issue, please do the following:

1. Open the FIG-file with the active layout grid.

2. Delete the layout grid by entering the following in the MATLAB prompt:

delete(findall(gcf,'Tag','scribeUnderlay'))
