Matlab not responding after imshow()

After using imshow() and closing the image, my matlab instance stops responding, and I need to force quit.

Tried rebooting my computer, and reinstalling matlab.

Running R2023b on a 2,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with macOS Sonoma 14.2.1.

The problem is in the closing of the figure. The problem happens on MacOS Sonoma

Fixed by adding the following to my startup.m file

set(groot, 'defaultFigureCloseRequestFcn', 'close(gcf)');
warning off MATLAB:Figure:RecursionOnClose;
