[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52361] Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V only works reliably if executed as very first action

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #52361 (project octave):

Torsten, I seem to have induced a little thread drift :-)

Yes it is esp. the window position that is problematic across versions - older
Octave releases often have the title bar above the upper screen limits so I
cannot even move them down.

Still I think (but it's just my opinion) that settings files shouldn't be
shared across versions for any piece of SW.
What if I want to test a dev version w/o screwing up settings for a stable
release? How to check if installation of a new mxe-octave binary including
default qt settings works w/o problems, w/o affecting installed releases?
I suppose having several Octave versions installed side-by-side is mainly a
developer situation, but not quite limited to developers.

Currently I have several qt-settings file backups in .config/octave/ , one for
each Octave release/version so I can at least restore my personal settings w/o
going through several pref tabs. It works but is sub-optimal at best.

OK, next Monday at work I'll see if my "fix" in comment #3 works there as
well. If so I'll close this report.

Thanks for you attention.
