[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48989] wrong error message while running long function file and saving it, GUI hangs until complete

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #48989 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #3:

I mean that the GUI is entirely non-responsive until the function finishes
execution, not after clicking Save, but after clicking Yes to the "quit
debugging?" prompt. The focus cannot even be returned to the command window,
let alone sending an interrupt to stop execution.

I made a function file that contains


for i = 1:1000
  pause (1);
endfor


and the GUI was completely unresponsive to any keyboard or mouse actions after
clicking Yes, probably until the 16 minutes it would have taken to let it
finish.
