Error in nexttile after adding colorbar for whole tiledlayout

I'm encountering this error on Matlab R2020b:

f = figure;
t = tiledlayout(f, 'flow');
nexttile %adding any two plots
plot(1:100)
nexttile
plot(1:100)
cb = colorbar; %adding colorbar
cb.Layout.Tile = 'East' %following the documentation on how to add colorbar for entire tiledlayout

So far, everthing works great. The colorbar belongs to the second axes but it is on the right side of the entire tiledlayout and it looks how it is supposed to. But when I now try to alter the first axes with

nexttile(1)

I get this error message

"Operands to the || and && operators must be convertible to logical scalar values.

Error in nexttile"

Does anyone have a clue what's going on there?

You can try storing the axes when you create a new tile and use the stored axes later as follows:

f = figure;
t = tiledlayout(f, 'flow');
ax1 = nexttile %adding any two plots
plot(1:50)
ax2 =  nexttile
plot(1:100)
cb = colorbar; 
cb.Layout.Tile = 'East';
% you can make use of the stored axes ax1 and ax2

For more information you can refer to the Examples of the nexttile.
