It's difficult to diagnose or offer workarounds to your specific problem without knowing which specific properties you're linking. But here are a few general ideas that you might try:
- R2014b is the first Matlab release that uses the new graphics engine (HG2). Subsequent Matlab releases have better behavior and performance for HG2, and earlier releases would avoid the HG1=>HG2 compatibility issues. So, 14a or 16a would probably be better upgrades for you than 14b.
- I suggest upgrading to R2014a instead of 14b. This is the last release that still uses HG1. It seems like a safer upgrade than 12a=>14b or 12a=>16a. Once you get 14a working properly you could upgrade to 16a or 16b at your leisure.
- It is possible that your linked properties interfere with one another, causing a cascading updates effect. Try linking other properties that provide similar results, or avoid the linking altogether.
