[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53217] Can't close window popping up after "gray" command while pager is active

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #53217 (project octave):

                 Summary: Can't cancel out the popped up window => Can't close
window popping up after "gray" command while pager is active

Hey Dan,

(seems our posts crossed.)

Your reasoning is clear enough.

Part of the issue at hand can be simply that "gray" shouldn't open a graphics
window by itself in the first place.
But the issue is equally valid if "gray" works on an existing figure.

I tend to think that the OP's problem is primarily that Octave has a pager
that is on by default, which complicates the situation for unwary users.
Yet the bug you (Dan) describe looks real and is merely uncovered by the
obvious reaction of users unwary of the pager's interference.

I suspect this may apply to several other commands that work on graphics
windows and send so much output that the pager kicks in.
