[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55029] pause causes hang

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #43, bug #55029 (project octave):

@Michael, Dmitri: My intent was to show that what you are seeing is a
regression in Fedora, not in Octave, since the kbhit function (on which
"pause" now relies) did not change in between and still works in Debian.

*as a script* and this may be corrupting the results. Could you please run the
attached script in both versions of Fedora and report back?

What I observe in Debian stretch is that the character I type (e.g. "a" in the
example bellow) is echoed and then caught by kbhit.


octave:6> kbtest
Type a character and wait until the function returns
a
Caught 'a'
octave:7>
