Matlab R2016b issue starting Appdesigner on Linux

Hello, all.

Recently installed Matlab R2016 on a linux machine and after trying to run Appdesigner from the command window with the command 'appdesigner' I got the following error:

Error in appdesigner.internal.application.AppDesignerWindowController/bringToFront (line 123)
            obj.BrowserController.bringToFront();

Error in appdesigner.internal.application.AppDesignEnvironment/openApp (line 161)
            obj.AppDesignerWindowController.bringToFront();

Error in appdesigner.internal.application.AppDesignEnvironment/startAppDesigner (line 68)
                obj.openApp(filePath);

Error in appdesigner (line 62)
appdesigner.internal.application.getAppDesignEnvironment().startAppDesigner(filePath);

It seems like it might be a problem Matlab has trying to open a new window with Appdesigner on it.

I checked other threads with similar issues and found a possible workaround to this setting the file path to default from the command window but I still got the same error. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
