[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41123] GUI: paste may eat newlines

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #41123 (project octave):

I agree with Rik that serious problems with the GUI that can be fixed easily
and without breaking binary compatibility with previous 3.8.x releases should
go on stable.

We will keep the gui-release branch until the GUI is good enough that we can
release a version of Octave with the GUI enabled by default.

I don't think it's wise to call 3.8.x a stable release series and at the same
time make potentially disruptive GUI-related changes there.  And now that
default has classdef, which is unlikely to be ready for release very soon, we
would be in the position of delaying the release of the GUI while we wait for
classdef to stabilize.  So I think we are stuck with the 3 branches for now.

If people want to get rid of the gui-release branch, then the solution is to
work toward making the GUI good enough to release.
That work should be done primarily on the gui-release branch, but some changes
may be appropriate for stable.
