matlab editor not recognizing symbolic links in search path

Hello,

assume I have two directories of which one is symbolic link to the other:

~/data -> /data /data

Now when I open identical script in this directory

edit ~/data/test.m edit /data/test.m

then the matlab gui treats this unique file as two separate ones, i.e. opens them in two editor tabs. Also, changes saved in one tab are not reflected in the other.

This seems like an unintended bug, rather that a feature. Please, if you now how to fix that (or if it is fixed in future releases) I would be grateful for a hint/link.

Thanks L.Ch.
