Details:

Changeset 17636:230ffaf80ac9 "fix enabling copy, cut and run selection actions
depending on selected text" (warmly welcomed! thanks for making this) has
problems.

For example, the following sequence in the editor:


x = 1:0.1:10;
for ii=1:10
  figure ();
  plot (x, sin (x * log (ii)));
endfor



(note newline/empty line included in selection)
gives in the GUI terminal on MinGW:


x = 1:0.1:10;^M^Jfor ii=1:10^M^J  figure ();^M^J  plot (x, sin (x * log
(ii)));^M^Jendfor


...and nothing happens, no error messages either, except that (only) variable
x appears in the workspace.
I first thought the inserted Esc characters spoiled the party. However, when
doing the same on Linux no Esc characters appear but no plots are produced
either, and also here only variable x is created. (Apparently the ^M^J are
EOLs)
Indentation or not makes no difference.

Simply copy/paste using Ctrl-C in editor and Ctrl-V in the terminal makes the
show run fine on MinGW and Linux.

Then again, a simple
tic; a = 10; toc
goes fine on MinGW and Linux.
