What is the contents of "icd"? What is the wanted output?

Your icd is currently a cell array of character vectors, and is being displayed to a uicontrol style 'text' or style 'edit' in which Max has been set to at least 2 (otherwise you would have received an error.)

When you set the String property of a uicontrol text or edit to a cell array of character vectors, it will effectively automatically reshape the cell array to be a column, with one entry of the cell array being presented per row.

If you want separate cell array character vectors entries to be presented in a row, then you need one uicontrol per column, or you need to switch to uitable()

The alternative is to join the contents together into one character vector or string. If you do that, you lose the internal boundaries unless you deliberately preserve them.

bytes = strjoin(icd, ' '); %cannot tell the boundaries between original entries

or

bytes = strjoin(icd, '|'); %boundaries are visually preserved. You might want ' | ' instead.
