Can't zoom plots while in debugger

I'm running R14sp2 on a SunOS 5.8 platform and ran into this problem:

I'm using Emacs (20.7, and matlab.el 3.0) as my editor/
debugger. I run my function to a breakpoint and want to
plot some interim values. So I open a figure, plot some
real basic X-Y values on an axes. So far so good. Now
I want to zoom in. I click on Zoom on the figure toolbar
and the button toggles (is pressed). But the cursor doesn't
change to a magnifying glass, I can't zoom, I can't edit
the plot, I can't pan the plot, I can't even open the
plottools.

Once I finish the function and the debugger is no longer
running, all of a sudden the things I was doing to the plot,
like zoom, and open plottools, happen!

I haven't used R14 to much lately and have been away from
MATLAB for a while, but I'm pretty sure that I've been
able to zoom, edit, generally muck around with plots in
the debugger, even using Emacs.

I did check the bug reports ans saw that there were other
issues with the debugger, but didn't see one like this.
I did submit a bug report, but I also wanted to see if
anyone else had any similar problem.

Thanks,

Pmeyer
