Thanks Rik, I cannot reproduce the error any more either so I think you can close this report.

I think this may have been fixed by the move to exceptions in the core.  If I try the problematic code from Guillaume in the original report it doesn't report the error about matrix_value() when the window is moved.  I will close this report in a week unless some can still reproduce the error.

Thanks for looking into this.

I observe the same thing that after the initial error message is reported, there is no return to prompt, but that if you just press enter to do so, the second error message will not appear when moving the figure later on.

The callback execution is done in gh_manager::do_execute_callback (graphics.cc). It is enclosed in a pair of macros (BEGIN/END_INTERRUPT_WITH_EXCEPTIONS) that should take care of exceptions and return to prompt.

The macros in turn are defined in /liboctave/cruft/misc/quit.h, but I am not competent in that part of the code. Don't know how to force the return to prompt (except explicitly adding a command_editor::interrupt when in error_state).

Hi,

Thanks for your report. I can confirm the issue, on qt toolkit only. For me, after clicking the faulty menu the first error message is printed but the terminal doesn't return to prompt. Then:

  • it I try to move the figure I get the same second error message as reported.
  • in the terminal, if I press the return key or ctrl+C, I get the usual prompt ">>" and I can then move the figure without any error message


With fltk, Octave doesn't return to prompt neither but subsequent figure manipulations don't trigger the error message.

If a callback in a uimenu crashes, there is another error that will be displayed as soon as the figure is moved:


>> F=figure;
>> uimenu(F,'Label','Click Here','Callback','crash');
>> % Click on 'Click Here'
>> error: 'crash' undefined near line 1 column 1
>> % move the figure
error: octave_base_value::matrix_value(): wrong type argument '<unknown type>'
error: A(I,J): row index out of bounds; value 1 out of bound 0
error: unhandled execution exception -- trying to return to prompt
