[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50666] gcf always returns 1 unless figure is selected with call to figure.

[Rik]

Update of bug #50666 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  And it also affects Linux systems (tested with dev branch).

Code to reproduce:


close all;
h1 = figure (20);
h2 = figure (21);
gcf
## Now Use mouse to select figure 20
gcf


It is a poor workaround, but you can switch figures from the command window by
using the figure() command and the figure number as the input.  For example,


figure (20)
