Thanks for testing.

Closing as fixed.

I pushed a patch here that fixes the issue for me:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fda3bc89c528

The results for the example script with that changeset:

ans =

0.196148 0.972595 -0.124835
0.210776 0.951005 -0.226191
0.052961 0.802618 0.594137

ans =

0.197744 0.972390 -0.123917
0.174780 0.959882 -0.219266
0.054484 0.801638 0.595322

ans =

0.199261 0.972198 -0.122986
0.263109 0.937257 -0.228742
0.055405 0.800945 0.596169


Marking as ready for test.

I'm really sure this is just because there isn't a listener on the Vertices property which fires when the Vertices are changed and calls the function to update the VertexNormals.

This can be mimicked with addlistener(), but it probably should be coded in C++.  For example, if you update xdata on a patch, the Face and Vertices properties are automatically changed.

If you download the Stanford Bunny mesh and run the following:


% http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/data_files/large_models/bunny.ply.gz
M = struct('vertices',[],'faces',[]);
fid = fopen('bunny.ply','rt');
while true
    l = fgetl(fid);
    if strcmp(l,'end_header'), break; end
end
nv = 35947; nf = 69451;
M.vertices = fscanf(fid,'%f %f %f',[5 nv])';
M.vertices = M.vertices(:,1:3);
M.faces    = fscanf(fid,'%d %d %d %d',[4 nf])';
M.faces    = M.faces(:,2:4) + 1;
fclose(fid);

figure; ax = axes;
axis(ax,'equal');
axis(ax,'off');
hp = patch(M,...
    'FaceColor', 'b',...
    'EdgeColor', 'none',...
    'Parent',ax);
camlight(ax);
camlight(ax,-80,-10);
lighting(ax,'gouraud');
set(hp,'FaceVertexCData',rand(nv,1), 'FaceColor','interp')

for i=1:3
    N = get(hp,'VertexNormals');
    normN = sqrt(sum(N.^2,2));
    normN(normN < eps) = 1;
    N     = bsxfun(@rdivide,N,normN);
    N(1:3,:)
    set(hp,'Vertices',get(hp,'Vertices')+N/400);
    drawnow
end


Matlab displays:


ans =

  3x3 single matrix

    0.1962    0.9726   -0.1248
    0.2108    0.9510   -0.2262

while Octave displays the same initial values:
