It only seems to fail with the keyboard command. Can you confirm this?

No, when using "dbstop...", it's even weirder. I have a test script as follows:

x = 10;

y = 10;

[xx, yy] = meshgrid (1:x, 1:y);

At octave prompt, I type "dbstop testoct 2". Then when I start the script at the octave prompt (typing "testoct"), octave stops and Debug menu is OK. When I use the "Run File" button in the editor, octave doesn't stop at all. I'm wondering if recompiling everything would help. Let me bring my octave in sync and recompile from gui branch.

Michael.
