  Octave relies on the modification time of the directory containing a
  function to know whether the files need to be read from the filesystem
  again.
  
  When I run a flatpak application, all files and directories under /app
  have mtime set to 0 (1970-01-01 00:00:00). All files and directories are
  also read-only, so I don't think there's a problem here.

I see des 31  1969 as their date, which is fairly close to what you see
  
  I'm not sure what you did do, whether you successfully copied the file
  or whether the write failed, or whether you tried to go behind flatpak's
  back and update the real files. But it's best to consider everything
  under /app to be read-only and not change it while the app is running.
  
I tried to change the file within Octave but failed as I hadn't write 
permission, so I went to the terminal and replaced the file from Octave stable 
repo.

In the meantime the flatpak package has been updated to 4.3.92. As it does not 
include this fix yet, I'll try to repeat what I did to better understand when 
it happens...
