colorbar doesnt work in R2017b

I i just switched from R2012 to R2017b and the colorbar command produces an error.

For example, even the simple pair of commands:

surf(peaks);colorbar;

produces this error:

Error using flip
Too many input arguments.
Error in flipud (line 14)
x = flip(x,1);
Error in matlab.graphics.shape.internal.AxesLayoutManager/insertAboveAxes

More likely than not you've written or downloaded your own flip.m that does not accept the same number of inputs as the built-in flip function. To check this, look at how many versions of flip are on the path.

which -all flip

Leave ones in directories under matlabroot alone. Rename or remove the others.

Thanks! That was it.
