Agree. And there is another bug report somewhere about the known missing feature that handles are not returned.

This is not the case. The documentation clearly says:

"The return value is always 1."

https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Dialog-Box-Functions.html#index-msgbox

To be compatible to Matlab, it should be a fcn-handle, but anyway, it is documented.

If there is nothing else to complain, I close this report soon.
