orthosliceViewer error in version 2024b

I get the error "Error using sub2ind Too many input arguments." within the orthosliceViewer function in MATLAB 2024b.

I tried all inputs, e.g. orthosliceViewer(rand(128,128,128)),

and also the example from the MATLAB Help Center: openExample('images/ViewMRIDataInOrthosliceViewerExample')

produces this error.

It works fine in Matlab 2023a and also in Matlab online. Must this be an error in the installation? Can I avoid updating to 2025?

What is the output if you type

which -all sub2ind

/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/elmat/sub2ind.m
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/bigdata/@tall/sub2ind.m                     % tall method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/array/distributed/@distributed/sub2ind.m  % distributed method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/gpu/gpu/@gpuArray/sub2ind.m               % gpuArray method

Hi Albrecht,

This may be due to a function shadowing issue for a function used in the underlying implementations of these other functions. Try the following debugging steps in order:

1) Try to reset your MATLAB path:

>> restoredefaultpath

>> rehash toolboxcache

>> savepath

This step may resolve or reveal a shadowing issue. If you see a warning about name conflicts, please try to delete or rename the local function that has a name conflict.2) Try to regenerate your MATLAB preferences.

3) As a last resort, try a clean reinstallation of MATLAB.

Thanks and Regards,
