[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52876] interrupt with <Ctrl> C does not terminate octave during pause

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52876 (project octave):

The cntrl-C works when launching a script at command line.  I type cntrl-C,
Octave closes and the bash shell line comes back.  No issues.

But you are right.  There's a bug in the cntrl-C from the Octave command line.
 I was thinking it was simply a cosmetic issue of Octave not displaying the
prompt, but in fact one keystroke is lost.  For example (no need for any code
other than pause), in the following I type "x = 3" after the control-C during
the pause:


octave:1> pause()


octave:1>  = 3
parse error:

  syntax error

>>>  = 3


I wonder how this went unnoticed.

Issue confirmed.
