Cannot zoom or interact with polar plot in R2016B

I am not able to zoom in or out or pan in polar plots in R2016B, although I can still rotate and pick points. I've tried doing it on multiple computers. My colleagues who are using the older version don't seem to have the same issues. is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I confirm your observation for R2016b. It affects both polar() and polarplot() . Also notice that the zoom cursor is different for non-polar plots.

Ah... if you look near the end of polar.m near line 220 you will see that it specifically disables pan and zoom :(

Thanks for your reminding. As long as we annotate the "% Disable pan and zoom" part of the built-in function "polar", we can zoom or interact with polar plot.

I have the same problem. I'll just have to replot using the regular plot command. It's a shame. I'm using Matlab 2016b
