[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51187] ISMEMBER fails if the string ends in a space:

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #51187 (project octave):

In the mean time I entered a bug report on the TMW site as the change in
treatment of char arrays by ismmber is nowhere documented.
The usual answer I get from TMW when filing this sort of bugs is that it is
rather a "doumentation issue" (I interpret that they're too ignorant to fix
bugs and just changing the docs is the least amount of work).
So I agree that we should copy the behavior of the latest Matlab release -
chances that this is gonna be fixed can be considered slim.

Another thing (that I added in that bug report) is that the "legacy" flag
already existed in r2012a, and there it served to relax type checking /
acceptance of ismember input arguments.  So the purpose and results of that
'legacy' flag seem to have changed from release to release (.... no comment)
