[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44975] The GUI's editor worked once then after closing its tab, it does not appear anymore

[chris]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44975 (project octave):

Replying to the questions:

1. About re-activating the "editor", I have tried from the menu: "Window/Show
Editor" and "Window/Editor (Ctrl+4)" and the editor does not re-appear. All
other windows re-appear normally if close them down. What I mean by closing
the tab of the editor is a) closing all the open files in the editor and b)
closing the editor window itself also, leaving open alone the command and
documentation-windows (having closed also the rest of the windows: workspace,
command-history, file-browser, etc).

2. About the file "built-in-docstrings", I search with the command:
find / -name "*built-in-docstrings*"
and it finds only a file for octave 3.8.2 which have also installed (from
rpm). I am sure though that after installation I got a glimpse of the help
menu (different from the incorrect one that shows now) and afterwards it
disappeared. Looking in my notes, I noticed that had installed octave-rc3 from
the source with:
a) ./configure --without-curl --disable-docs 
based on a web link suggestion with which I solved the configure error that I
was getting with "./configure":
configure: error: A BLAS library was detected but found incompatible with your
Fortran 77 compiler settings.
b) make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=
c) make install

Probably the configure option "--disable-docs" is the reason for the missing
help. 

3. About the "a" in the command-line, surprisingly it does not complain for
"undefined". I tried "b" and other letters and it complains. Otherwise Octave
is working without problems (please see attached image
"command_window_01may15.png"). 

About the "clc" that does not work, I did not use "--disable-readline" in the
./configure, and "--enable-readline" is on by default (see bug #29804).
