Area plot does not recognize colormap

When I changed to R2019a, area plots do not recognize the current colormap anymore. The only workaround I found was to replace 'area' by 'fill'. I include the code and the figures displayed. With my older Matlab version, both figures looked like 'Figure 2.png'.

What was your 'older Matlab version'?

If you keep the handle from an area plot you get an object (or objects, if you feed it a matrix) which you can then change the 'FaceColor' property of. This changed in 2017b.

You can see in the release notes at:

if you scroll down to the R2017b section.
