push add ons returns "dot indenting not supported"

Hi,

I see that it is a common issue but I could not find anything useful on previous posts:

when I am pushing the add-ons button I have an error message:

Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Error in matlab.internal.addons.AddOnsWindow/bringToFront (line 68)

obj.webwindow.bringToFront();

Error in matlab.internal.addons.Explorer/bringToFront (line 65)

obj.addOnsWindowInstance.bringToFront();

Error in matlab.internal.addons.launchers.showExplorer (line 132)

matlab.internal.addons.Explorer.getInstance.bringToFront;

I am using matlab 2020b, I tried with 2020a but the issue is there as well. I am working on a macbook pro with 10.15.7 Catalina.

Can you help me fixing this?

Thanks,

Fred

I'm also having the same issue on Matlab2020b, on Macbook pro Catalina 10.15.17. Resetting preferences did not help.

I'm having the same issue very frustrating, I've updated Matlab, run the preferences thing. Nothing.
