This issue is quite a systemic one happening in the new desktop system. Due to its larger text, colleagues may prefer to use this add-on. The issue seems to be caused by some unknown reasons between this new desktop add-on and the Matlab batch system. It may be useful to discuss whether we would encourage users to use this add-on.

This issue is no longer applicable and will not be addressed because users are not encouraged to use the new desktop extension.
