[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39305] copy/paste not consitent or intuitive

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #39305 (project octave):

OK, I see that the behavior is different after using C-c and C-v in another
widget.  But for me it is still not correct.  I see two different behaviors
depending on the precise sequence of events.  Both are wrong in different
ways:

1. Start Octave and select a file name in the file browser widget, then type
C-c followed by C-v.  Next, change the focus to the terminal widget and type
C-v.  The file name is inserted at the Octave prompt.  So far, that's expected
behavior.  Next, type C-c and Octave exits.  That's not expected, so it looks
like the interrupt signal is not being delivered properly.

2. Start Octave and select a file name in the file browser widget, then type
C-v followed by C-v.  Next, chnage the focus to the terminal widget and select
some text.  Type C-c.  A new prompt is printed, indicating that the text was
copied and and interrupt signal has been sent to the Octave process.  At this
point, I was just expecting the text to be copied.  Next, type C-v and the
text that was selected from the terminal window is inserted at the Octave
prompt.  So it seems that C-c performed both copy and interrupt at the same
time when I was expecting just one action.
