[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60980] "Position" key in uigetfile appears to have no effect

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #60980 (project octave):

While looking into this, I think I ran into another bug.
In `uigetfile`, the function `__event_manager_enabled__` is used to decide
whether the event_manager is used to show the dialog (i.e., Qt). If that
returns 0, the FLTK should be used to show that dialog.
I was starting Octave with `./run-octave --no-gui-libs` and tried to check the
FLTK implementation.
The issue is that even if I start Octave that way `__event_manager_enabled__`
returns true. No working dialog is displayed at all and the function fails
with an error.

Is this an error in the command line argument processing? Should the event
manager be disabled when starting with --no-gui-libs?
Or should `__event_manager_enabled__` return true, only if there is an actual
implementation that is derived from the event_manager classes that can be
used?

Am I using the wrong command line arguments?
How should I start Octave to test the FLTK implementation of that function?
