I just tested with the development branch of Octave and this issue is still present.  I've marked the bug as confirmed and changed the Item Group to "Matlab Compatibility".

Frankly, Matlab's scheme is a little odd, but here is the annotated behavior.


clf;                        # creates new figure, "currentaxes" = []
hu = uipanel ();            # gcf "children" = hu
hax = gca ();               # gcf "children" = [hax; hu], "currentaxes" = hax
set (hax, "parent", hu);    # gcf "children" = hu, "currentaxes" = []
gca () == hax               # call to gca() creates new axes because "currentaxes" is [].


The reparenting operation would need to be changed not to delete the "currentaxes" property.  However, it would also have to be smart enough to understand when an axes is re-parented to another figure or a uipanel of another figure, in which case "currentaxes" does become [].  Oy, that's starting to seem cumbersome to implement.

I think this behavior is still present in Octave 4.2.0.

When running the code sample from comment #0 I still get the result 0 (meaning "not equal").

From tests I asked for in the maintainers list [1] I understand that the following should not change the figure "currentaxes" property:


clf;
hu = uipanel ();
hax = gca ();
set (hax, "parent", hu);
gca () == hax


It works well if the axes is initialized with the uipanel as parent : "hax = axes ("parent", hu);".
