Line continuation marker (>) missing from GUI console

I've tried the latest development code. It compiles as usual, so I see no C++11 issues.

I did just notice though that the line continuation marker doesn't appear in the GUI. For example, when running with --no-gui, I see

octave:1> plot(1:50
)
octave:2> exit

but with the GUI I see

plot(1:50
)


The point is that with a fairly complex expression in the GUI it can appear that Octave suspends rather than there being a syntax error in the entered string.

It's strange because I thought that the console in the GUI was a straightforward redirection of output from the core.

Is this a bug?
