[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39723] history commands lost when selecting block and right-clicking "Evaluate"

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #39723 (project octave):

I'm not sure grouping the commands into a single command is beneficial.  I
think I'd like the commands that are evaluated to appear in the history just
as they were pulled from history.  But more than that, the atomic or
individual evaluation of commands allows some flexibility in the sense that
the commands (presently callbacks) issued as a result of GUI interaction can
get a chance to execute intermixed with longer processing commands that might
be running.  This would give the user more a sense of GUI responsiveness.  The
commands could also be prioritized.  For example, most GUI operations like
setting/clearing breakpoints are very short and don't have a command line text
string.  My druthers would be to make those operations (i.e., a "background"
queue as opposed to a "foreground" queue) a higher priority, again, to make
the GUI seem more responsive.

Anyway, thanks for taking the initiative on this one.
