Follow-up Comment #4:

Re-titling the bug, and lowering the priority.

When code is pasted in to the Command Window that contains tabs, the
interpreter/readline attempts to complete matches.  This is not desirable,
although there may be no way for the parser to understand whether it is
dealing with pasted text versus typed input.

For testing, I attach a file tst_tab.m.  Copy the text in the file and then
paste it in to an Octave Command Window.  The result is


octave:1> for t = 1:2
> end
end                 endfor              endmethods          endswitch         
 
endclassdef         endfunction         endparfor           end_try_catch     
 
endenumeration      endgrent            endproperties       end_unwind_protect
 
endevents           endif               endpwent            endwhile          
 
> end% tab-comment
