[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47371] GUI operations require readline, error or ignore --no-line-editing when starting GUI

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #47371 (project octave):

Sorry, to clarify this is about the Octave command-line switch
--no-line-editing. Even if Octave is built with readline, you can run it with
--no-line-editing. Try it.

But doing so makes large parts of the GUI non-functional (things where
clicking on a button in the GUI affects the interpreter state). So I think
this should be prevented somehow, by either forcibly enabling readline anyway
or by erroring out to the terminal that the GUI can't be started with
--no-line-editing.
