[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44975] The GUI's editor worked once then after closing its tab, it does not appear anymore

[Rik]

Update of bug #44975 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Works For Me

Follow-up Comment #2:

Issue 1)

Did you close the editor window tab completely?  To re-enable it use the
Window menubar option.  See the attached screenshot.

Issue 2)

How did you build and install Octave?  Was it a download of the rc3 tarball
and then './configure; make; make install'?

It seems pretty clear that the reason no documentation is displayed is because
the file is missing for some reason.  In my installation there is a file
'/usr/local/share/octave/4.0.0-rc3/etc/built-in-docstrings'

Issue 3)

Is Octave working at all?  Looking at the screenshot, after you typed 'a' it
should have responded with 


error: 'a' undefined near line 1 column 1


Try something simple like 


x = 2 + 2


and see whether you get anything back.
