    _______________________________________________________

Details:

It is not possible in Ocatave 3.8.2 GUI to run a script on a root folder.
Example:

Place file "cd_bug.m" both in "D:" and "D:usr"

cd_bug.m script


disp 'hello world'


Octave shell script


cd 'D:'
cd_bug        % present, but not working
not_present   % not present at all

cd 'D:usr'
cd_bug        % present, working


command window output


>> cd 'D:'
>> cd_bug        % present, but not working
error: 'cd_bug' undefined near line 1 column 1
>> not_present   % not present at all
error: 'not_present' undefined near line 1 column 1
>> cd 'D:usr'
>> cd_bug        % present, working
hello world
>>


Most notably, everything runs fine in classic Octave (Command Line) mode
(*not* GUI)

Seen on MXE Octave 3.8.2-4 using Windows 7 64 bit
