[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59237] Crash when pasting 64 commands

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #59237 (project octave):

The slow performance while pasting things into the GUI window is the core
problem. It gets escalated to a crash when external packages like SymPy are
also being called during that time. A 35-minute response time is as bad as it
becoming frozen and unresponsive.

Attached two files safeToPaste.txt (16 lines of data) and unsafeToPaste.txt
(17 lines). Pasting 16 lines of content or fewer in the GUI works without any
surprises. Pasting more than 16 lines causes a freeze on Linux for version
7.0, and a long wait on Windows for version 5.2.

Workarounds to this problem: avoid pasting more than 16 lines into the GUI
until the problem is resolved. Either save as a .m script and call that, or
use the CLI to paste things.
