[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63556] error() function shows traceback messages when error message end with newline in special cases

[Rik]

Update of bug #63556 (project octave):

                  Status:          Ready For Test => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #6:

Confirming, Octave needs to stay Matlab-compatible and Matlab also does not
interpret escape characters such as '\n' when there is only a single string.

For example, in Matlab


error ('abc\ndef\nghi\n')
abc\ndef\nghi\n


while in Octave the string "error: " is prepended


error ('abc\ndef\nghi\n')
error: abc\ndef\nghi\n


Marking bug as fixed (with Markus's change to the documentatino) and closing
report.
