I downloaded 2019a-git (win 64).
The problem with the Add Random Variable menu command persists, as follows:
When trying to generate Uniform, Normal, Gamma, Binomial, Weibull, I
still get the message <<-- no numeric conversion performed!>>
When trying to generate Poisson I get the message <<you must give a name
for the variable>>, even though I have typed a simple name like "X1" or
"Z3" in the relevant box.
When trying to generate Student's, Chi-square or F distributions, the
command works.
The randgen function continues to work fine in script mode.

I have version 2018d Windows 64-bit.
I try to generate random numbers using the "Random variable..." command
in the Add menu and I get
<<'U1' -- no numeric conversion performed!>>
In script mode, the command
series U1 = randgen(U1,0,1)
works fine.
