[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51848] Variable editor should show text strings in one cell, not as separate chars each in distinct cells

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51848 (project octave):

Matlab r2017b prerelease:

>> txt = {'line 1', 'line 2', ['line 3a' char(10) 'line 3b']}

txt =

  1×3 cell array

    {'line 1'}    {'line 2'}    {'line 3a↵line 3b'}

>> txt{3}

ans =

    'line 3a
     line 3b'


see attached screenshot.
Apparently ML ignores EOL chars in its variable editor. It does preserve
them.
It would be cool if Octave could do better.
