[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40689] MinGW: octave-3.7.7+.exe process keeps running after GUI starts

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #40689 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
                  Status:                    None => Postponed

Follow-up Comment #7:

What you say is essentially this:

The octave-3.7.7+ (& shortcut octave) executables are only required for batch
file processing.
It is only when starting the gui through octave that this issue arises.

I do think that packagers should be (made) aware of this.

Would you mind if I set status to "postponed" & severity "minor"? 
My reasoning:
I think it is preferrable to not have unneeded windows and processes around
the place. But as there is a workaround the priority is probably low.
If you don't agree I'll close this bug (or you can do it as well)

Thanks for the explanation
