[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45533] GUI should not run screen output through the pager

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Update of bug #45533 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #3:

I would like to vehemently say "no" to changing this default. You can also
scroll back in a terminal. That's not the reason for why paging is the
default.

It's the default because usually you *don't* want to have a ton of garbage in
your output. It's not a matter of scrolling back. You just don't want to dump
a large amount of output (and wait for it to dump!) if you accidentally miss a
semicolon somewhere. The safe thing is to page.
 
I am going to aggressively mark this bug as invalid. Matlab does the wrong
thing here by default.
