Details:

When setting properties of an element in an object array, other properties of
the same object get retested to their default values. This only happens with
arrays of objects.

Minimal classdef:

classdef dummy < handle

    properties
        name = 'bla';
        value = 1;
    end
        
end


Example:

% Works
clear d
d = dummy
d.name = 'test';
d.value = 2;
d.name % Should be 'test' --> OK

% Doesnt work
clear d
d(1) = dummy
d(1).name = 'test';
d(1).value = 2;
d(1).name % Should be 'test', but is 'bla'

% Possible temporary workaround
clear d
d(1) = dummy

d_tmp = d(1);
d_tmp.name = 'test';
d_tmp.value = 2;

d(1) = d_tmp;
d(1).name % Correct
d(1).value % Correct
