Description

I have been using MBeautifier in Matlab 2019 to flag which files need to be beautified. This is basically a "for" loop over a list of files. In Matlab 2022, after few iterations (around ~10) matlab crashes as the following

{Error using matlab.desktop.editor.Document>assertOpen

Unable to open or load the Editor.

Error in matlab.desktop.editor.Document/get.Text (line 751)

assertOpen(obj);

I wanted to know if MBeautifier has been tried already by other in Matlab 2022, or if this is a known issue.
