[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53217] Can't cancel out the popped up window

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #53217 (project octave):

                  Status:            Works For Me => Need Info              

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #6:

_the warning/error message arises from pressing the figure window's close
button multiple times_

Exactly.

The logic I mentioned is that "behind the pager" a script may be running that
changes a figure; if that figure is manually closed but the script runs on,
you can easily see that you can get errors as the script will try to adapt a
non-existing figure. And indeed that's the exact error message:

warning: base_graphics_object::get_properties: invalid graphics object
error: unexpected exception while parsing input


Matlab doesn't open a new figure and only returns a colormap. It uses the
default colormap dimensions if no figure exists.
So there may be a compatibility issue in Octave opening a new figure.
Any insights on that from the graphics experts?

I'll change status to "need info"
