Inputdlgcol: error using set

I came across the question "Is it possible to reshape the column of edit boxes in INPUTDLG such that the questions span multiple rows and columns in MATLAB?" and have been using the INPUTDLGCOL.m function to split my input so that it fits on the screen nicely in multiple columns.

However, since I've been using it I was working with MATLAB 2013 on windows. On newer linux desktops running 2014a the function no longer works and I keep getting the following error:

 Error using set
 Invalid property found.
 Object Name: uimenu
 Property Name: 'Units'.

 Error in inputdlgcol (line 444)
 set(findall(InputFig),'Units','normalized','HandleVisibility','callback');

How do I solve this? I'm not really sure what that error does or means? There's no file exchange for INPUTDLGCOL so any help is appreicated.
