[Eeglablist] Rejecting continuous data with script: "events were corrupted" (BUG 1971)

[Shaoyun Yu]

Hello,

I am trying to reject the data during rest breaks before cleaning with 
ASR because these periods often contain a lot of EMG and other noises. I 
also decided to remove the idle periods before and after the experiment.

If I pass an array of time regions to eeg_eegrej, e.g.:

```
EEG = eeg_eegrej(EEG, [0 100; 500 600]);
```

Bug 1971 will occur with the warning:

BUG 1971 WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING A SCRIPT WITTEN FOR A PREVIOUS VERSION OF
EEGLAB TO CALL THIS FUNCTION, BECAUSE YOU ARE REJECTING THE ONSET OF THE 
DATA,
EVENTS WERE CORRUPTED. EVENT LATENCIES ARE NOW CORRECT (SEE 
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/EEGLAB_bug1971);

Interestingly, the bug will still happen even if point 0 is not 
included: eeg_eegrej(EEG, [500 600])
What are the implications of this bug when I do rejection in scripts? 
Would it cause any distortion to the data?
I am running on EEGLAB v14.1.2.

Thank you,
