[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55823] [octave forge] (io) xlsread(...) call using OCT interface interferes with GUI editor

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #55823 (project octave):

Thanks, here's a far simpler example that I tried in Octave 5.1 and on the
development branch.


dn = tempname ();
mkdir (dn);
rmdir (dn);


Start Octave, open a new tab in the editor, paste the above, _don't save it_,
highlight all text, and press F9 for "Run Selection". Octave will prompt for
the file in the editor to be either closed or saved. If I choose "Save" and
give it a file name, the file stays open in the editor. This is on Debian.

Does this match what you're seeing on Windows?

That doesn't seem to describe what this bug report was originally about. If
the script is saved first as "readtest.m" then I don't see any prompt and the
file is not closed.
