Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for your bug report. The qt toolkit is now merged into the development
version of Octave for the 4.0 release. I can confirm your report on Linux,
although there is a slight typo. With the fixed version of your example below,
the resulting panels show the same results for either a cell array or a string
matrix (strings joined with vertical bar).

Is this the expected behavior in Matlab when an array of strings is given as
the String property for an edit uicontrol? The public documentation does not
say anything about a string matrix or cell array. In other words, is this a
feature request or a Matlab compatibility issue?


hf = figure;
set(hf,'Units','normalized');
hp = uipanel('Title','Text panel','Units','normalized','Position',[0.05 0.05
0.9 0.9],'Parent',hf);
he = uicontrol('Style','edit','String','','Units','normalized','Position',[0.1
0.1 0.4 0.4],'Parent',hp,'BackgroundColor','y','Max',10,'Min',1);
str = {'line 1';'line 2';'line 3'};
set(he,'String',str);
he2 =
uicontrol('Style','edit','String','','Units','normalized','Position',[0.1 0.55
0.4 0.4],'Parent',hp,'BackgroundColor','g','Max',10,'Min',1);
str2 = ['line 1';'line 2';'line 3'];
set(he2,'String',str2);
