Details:

(This is a long standing bug, dating back to 3.6.4 o earlier)

format compact should be independent of other format settings relating to
e.g.,precision of output format.
I find that format compact is consistently reset whenever e.g., "format long"
or "format bank" is set.
IMO format compact or format loose settings shouldn't be rest by precision
format settings.


>> a.f = 2
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    f =  2

>> a.g = 3
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    f =  2
    g =  3

>> a
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    f =  2
    g =  3

>> format compact
>> a
a =
  scalar structure containing the fields:
    f =  2
    g =  3

>> format long
>> a
a =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    f =  2
    g =  3



Matlab does it right:

>> format compact
>> a.f = 2
a = 
  struct with fields:

    f: 2
>> a.g = 3
a = 
  struct with fields:

    f: 2
    g: 3
>> a
a = 
  struct with fields:

    f: 2
    g: 3
>> format long
>> a
a = 
  struct with fields:

    f: 2
    g: 3
>> format loose
>> a

a = 

  struct with fields:

    f: 2
    g: 3

>>
