Right, I still do not see this behavior any more with Octave 6.1.0 release on linux. Thanks for closing this.

No one else seems to have observed the same behavior. And it looks like it disappeared for Hartmut as well.
Maybe a local issue?

I have just re-tested this behavior with the current Octave release candidate 6.0.90. And the described (buggy) behavior does NOT happen there, when self compiling the official tar-ball on the same linux machine.

To me it seems that this issue is now SOLVED, without me knowing what change to the Octave code fixed it.

I am using a self compiled dev version of Octave under linux (hg id f658d41003e4).

And this is how to reproduce the (buggy?) behavior I observed with it:

  • open Octave (gui or cli, it happens in both)
  • type a long command into the Octave console (in my case it needs a line that has more than 55 characters), not pressing the enter key at all
  • when typing the last characters they will appear at the beginning if the line and overwrite the formerly displayed characters there


In my case I type the following:


>> 123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+1234


the first three characters being my Octave prompt. When typing further I see the following:


567823456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+123456789+1234


(Have a look at the beginning of the text line!)

When executing this weired code line, it works fine in general. It seems to only be about the text display.

I have not had this problem in older (also self compiled) Octave versions, that's why I marked this issue as regpression.

Does anyone else see this?
