[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45943] commands shg and figure(N) (where figure N exists) fail to bring figure window to foreground

[Tasos Papastylianou]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #45943 (project octave):

Yes, sorry, I wasn't too explicit about OS, but the behaviour is the same in
both GNU/Linux and Windows.

Also, apologies, I just realised my original submission is missing content
(did I forget to close the verbatim tags??)

The second (and main) part of the bug description was about the behaviour of
figure(N); shg is more of a consequence of this.

Mike, you're right, I suppose the octave help doesn't explicitly state raising
the window above all others as matlab does:


figure(H) makes H the current figure, forces it to become visible,
    and raises it above all other figures on the screen.


I suppose a workaround if this is wanted behaviour is to add


set(gcf,'visible','off');
set(gcf,'visible','on');


which has the desired result.
