[Rik]

Update of bug #42589 (project octave):

                  Status:            Works For Me => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #8:

Actually, I was just able to reproduce this with


(9:10)*0.1 - 1
ans =

   -1.00000000000000e-01    2.77555756156289e-17


A range is a special octave_value type.  If I convert the range to an ordinary
matrix, then things work out.


full(9:10) * 0.1 - 1


This, at least, is a clue.  I'm really busy right now, though, and can't look
at this more.
