[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41448] ppval returns wrong dimensions for scalar valued polynomial

[Rik]

Update of bug #41448 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.

The function ppval is located in scripts/polynomial/ppval.m.  At the bottom of
the function just before returning the result to the user I see this


  ## FIXME: Why is this commented out, rather than just removed?
  #if (d == 1)
  #  yi = reshape (yi, sxi);
  #endif


If I uncomment this section of code then I get the correct shape.  I'm not
sure why this happened, but I made the fix by uncommenting out the code.  I
also added a built-in self test for this so it won't happen again.  The fix
was made on the stable branch
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/90568d7fe382) and will be a part
of the 3.8.1 bug fix release.
