Follow-up Comment #3:

I'm adding jwe to the CC list.

The issue is when the GUI needs access to a function, say to follow the code
execution line-by-line when operating in the debugger, and that function is
not associated with any file, for example it was declared on the command line,
then the editor can't find said function and throws up a warning dialog
window.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Use the built-in editor of the GUI (Preferences)
2) Launch the GUI (run-octave --gui)
3) Declare a function at the command line


function r = myfunc ()
  r = pi
end


4) Set a breakpoint in the function


dbstop myfunc


5) Execute the function


myfunc


This throws up the warning dialog, "File myfunc does not exist. Do you want to
create it?"
