[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44661] The "pause" command with no parameter: strange behavior (GUI + Windows)

[Giorgio De Nunzio]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #44661 (project octave):

I also checked the CLI version (that is, starting with octave.vbs --no-gui).
The behavior is *almost* identical.
Almost everything works the same: pause() returs only if I type <enter> and it
does not return after any other key, bufferizing them all (so that they are
taken by the following pause()s). 
The difference is that the <enter> key does not leave the LF bufferized, so
that the sequence: 
pause <enter> [command starts and waits]
<enter> [command exits as expected]
pause <enter> [command starts and waits, no LF bufferized]
<enter>  [command exits as expected]
works fine. But when you insert a <any other key>, pause() does not exit,
while the subsequent pause() exits immediately.
So for me the problem is not limited to the GUI: it is only the interpretation
of the <enter> key that is different.
Best
Giorgio
