[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59628] Segmentation fault on GUI close

[Lars Kindermann]

Follow-up Comment #25, bug #59628 (project octave):

Actually, I use the combination --gui --eval without --persist intentionally.

I start scripts automatically in the background that will generate graphics
and text output (shown in the command window) and finally wait() till I close
the figure or the gui. In case of an error, octave exits and the calling shell
script handles the case.

Now I dont see the command window any more because --gui is ignored and if, as
suggested, --gui would imply --persist, an error won't antomatically exit and
the gui hang around forever.

Of course the desired behaviour could be achieved by modifying the workflow,
but the current logic of --gui and --persist has reasonable use cases. So I
opt for keeping the old behaviour.
