[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50106] [GUI] Editor keeps track of files even when it is closed

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #50106 (project octave):

Right, so there now is a 2:1 majority to keep current behavior :-)
Fine with me.

Yet I'm happy that Dan recognizes my point about editor behavior when hidden -
that was the gist of my bug report.
Another tricky issue Dan dosn't mention is when a file opened in a tab in the
hidden editor is deleted from disk by another program or process.

As to annoying: I use the editor for other files than .m as well - think of
.csv etc. that can easily be overwritten by Excel/LO or so. Another one is
having files open on an external drive or share that gets
disconnected/reconncted (by company network hickups, but that's another
story).


The editor has more issues ATM; it stubbornly refuses to save a file unless
the parser thinks it is completely valid code; IIRC there's a bug report about
it.
