[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53729] Qt figure canvas does not resize with window while interpreter is paused or blocked

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #53729 (project octave):

Pantxo:  I asked because I wasn't sure whether it would be safe to call a
function while the interpreter was paused.  The state of the interpreter could
be anything.  Currently, if I do something like this:


function my_listener (h, dummy)
  disp (get (h, "view"))
endfunction
more off
sombrero ()
addlistener (gca, "view", @my_listener)
for i = 1:100000
  sin (i)
endfor


and then rotate the axes while the loop is executing, all the calls to
my_listener are deferred until the interpreter is finished executing the loop.
 Do your patches change that behavior?

Either way, should it be possible to execute callbacks while the loop is
running in the above example?  If so, then I suppose executing them inside the
pause function should also be allowed.  But if not, why is the pause function
special?
