Fixed on the development branch in this cset: https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a7dfb00d5bf5.

This will be a part of the Octave 6.1 release.  To access the fix sooner download axis.m from the Mercurial development branch and replace your local copy.

% square_bug.m  - when square does not mean square
do_plot = 3;
xrect = [0 1.5 1.5 0 0];
yrect = [0 0 2.0 2.0 0];
if do_plot
  figure(do_plot)
  clf;
  plot(xrect, yrect, "-k");
  axis([0, 1.5, 0, 2.0], "square");  % or replace "square" with "equal"
  set(gca, ...
    "xlim", [0 1.5], "ylim", [0 2.0], ...
    "xtick", [0 : 0.25 : 1.55], "ytick", [0 : 0.25 : 2.0] ...
  );
%  set(gca, "dataaspectratiomode", "manual");  % uncomment for square
  get(gca, "dataaspectratio")
  get(gca, "dataaspectratiomode")

1. First run of square_bug. Figure 3 opens as a square with different x
   and y scales and textual output:
     ans = dataaspectratio     = 1.5000   2.0000   1.0000
     ans = dataapsectratiomode = auto
   The image has been saved in "square_bug_1.pdf".
2. Now contract the width of Figure 3. The square turns into a rectangle.
   On running square_bug again, the same rectangular Figure 3 window
   reappears with the same rectangle in it. The textual output is also
   unchanged:
     ans = dataaspectratio     = 1.5000   2.0000   1.0000
     ans = dataapsectratiomode = auto
   The "dataaspectratio" is incorrect. The rectangular image has been
   saved in "square_bug_2.pdf".
3. Now uncomment the
     set(gca, "dataaspectratiomode", "manual");
   line and run square-bug once again. The Figure 3 window remains the
   same, but now we have a square, the listed "dataapectratio" now means
   something, and the "dataapsectratiomode" has changed to "manual":
     ans = dataaspectratio     = 1.5000   2.0000   1.0000
     ans = dataapsectratiomode = manual
   The result is shown in "square_bug_3.pdf".
4. Proposal: when axis is set to "square", "dataapsectratiomode" should
   always be "manual". This does happen when axis is set to "equal". To
   see this, change "square" to "equal", close all figure windows,
   comment out the "dataaspectratiomode", and run the same three
   experiments again. Actually, when you run the first experiment, you
   will see
     ans = dataaspectratio     = 1   1   1
     ans = dataapsectratiomode = manual
   and the relative x and y scales on the recangle will remain the same
   no matter how you manipulate the Figure 3 window.
5. The three images, square_bug_#.pdf, were produced with
      graphics_toolkit gnuplot;
      setenv GNUTERM qt;
   and
      Export to PDF
   from the gnuplot_qt Figure 3 window.
