[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46795] dbstop lacks much Matlab functionality

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #64, bug #46795 (project octave):

OK, I take it back about this ever having worked...

Here is a second patch for the issue of changing directories.  It still isn't
perfect -- it chooses the widget to use based on whether it is called from a
callback or not, rather than ensuring it is always called from the same
context.  The problem with forcing it to be called non-modally is that the
conditional break needs to receive a string for the condition, verify it and
possibly ask for another string.  uiwidget_creator doesn't seem to have an
option to read a string.

I don't really know enough about the best practice  in implementing GUIs to
know what things should be done by what threads, so once it stops crashing, I
might leave this to someone else (Torsten?) to design the "proper" solution. 
Once it has been decided what sequence of events / threads / signals is
required, I'm happy to have a go at coding it.

Philip, I tried to reproduce the error you mentioned in comment #63 but can't
(under Linux).  I think it is a different issue from the one Torsten
mentioned.
