Things were working properly till yesterday. I am unable to find what changed.
The following different steps didnt resolve the issue:
1) restoredefaultpath
2) reset(gca)
3) reinstall matlab (I am using networked version in Institute)

I have the same problem. In fact, just moving the mouse over the plot causes the error for me. I'm using Matlab 2019a Update 5 on a MacOS Mojave device, and I'm using an external (non-retina) display in junction with the (retina) diplay on my laptop.

I have had the same problem with settings.m, my solutions was to rename the file.
In the future, i am checking the doc for commands with similar name. This Problem could even happen with similar variables names.

Hello, which folder do you want to change the settings.m file in, I don't understand it, it's driving me crazy, I hope you can answer it for me!

The point is that if your project contains a file called 'settings.m' (or some other filename which conflicts with a built in matlab file) you may have this problem. Try renaming files in your project with rather generic filenames to use more custom names.
