Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52276 (project octave):
That occurred to me as well :-)
After "more on" variable display seems somewhat restored, yes.
But then after one successful listing "data{1}" (actually "data" after the
offending command) it doesn't work reliably. I fact I couldn't get variable
display to work at all anymore.
The variable "data{1}" contains a number of extremely long text strings w/o
newlines that perhaps seem to clobber up the (cmd32.exe-based) terminal on
Windows.
After "more on" I could inspect more elements of data{1} but I needed to enter
loads of <f>, PG-DN and "arrow down" at random order to get through the
listing. Often it stalls and <arrow down> one or more times then helps to
display up to the next --less-- prompt.
In addition the "-- less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit" prompt only
occasionally appears at the bottom, usually it appears somewhere random in the
terminal (see attached pic).
It looks like another manifestation of deficiencies of the Windows terminal.
But before simply putting it off like that I'd like to be more sure if that is
really true and if there's a solution.
