Refer to open bug #39179 about a warning or fallback mode.

a hint indicating that something is missing would be helpful though.

It sounds like you have built Octave without the optional Qscintilla library. This is the expected behavior in this case. What does


>> __have_feature__ QSCINTILLA
ans = 1


return on your build?

If it works on stable or in previous builds of Octave, maybe you are now building with Qt 5 and don't have the Qt 5 version of Qscintilla installed?

not so for me. No editor opens by using any of the relevant menu commands.

If on the command line I type

_octave_link_edit_file_

(which apparently is the function that's called) I just get

ans = 1

whereas in stable octave an editor window opens.

Everything brand new, no extra init files. I have tested it on two machines with the most recent built.

Could you be more specific about the actions you tried?

I just did File->New->New Script and Octave switched to the Editor Tab with an "<unnamed>" files.

when invoking the gui editor (e.g. New Script) nothing happens.
