Ginput does not seem to work for me

Good afternoon. I am trying to use

ginput(1)

for getting the coordinates of the point clicked / button input. Full code I'm using: https://github.com/silviazuffi/smalr_online/blob/master/src/annotate_kp_matlab/annotate2DwithQuery_multipleverts.m

However, it does not seem to work for me at all. If I click a point in the image, it is ignored. If I am trying to type something, it just hides the image and brings me to the Command Window on Matlab. I've tried holding down Shift - no result. I've tried to press Return - no result, it just again hides the image and brings me to the Command Window.

What should I do to make it work? I'm using Matlab R2020b.

which -all ginput

Question: are you getting the cross-hairs?

[Valeria Iegorova]

I am getting th cross-hairs. Also, ginput seems to work as expected if I just call it from the command window or from the empty (apart from ginput command) script. So it might have something to do with the rest of the code - not really sure what where makes the input redirected to the command window.
