[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52988] Variable editor: allow scalars to be shown directly

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #52988 (project octave):

I think the performance has been greatly improved.  Previously, each time an
element was requested from the model, an expression was evaluated in the
interpreter.  Now we just maintain a copy of the value that is being edited
(copy == increment a reference count) and when an element is needed, we just
call the new edit_display function to create a string representation of the
element for display in the editor.  So that is much faster than what was done
before.  Does the autofit feature cause trouble for you now?  We can still
make it configurable.  I also think it might be good to have minimum and
possibly maximum column widths.  But those are secondary issues to making
editing actually work.
