[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51848] Variable editor should show text strings in one cell, not as separate chars each in distinct cells

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #51848 (project octave):

@jwe: That's nice.  Editing strings works well for me, and it's cool that they
are treated as scalars in cell arrays so I can edit them directly without
having to double-click in to the string.

When a string is empty, what does Matlab display?  And does it allow editing?

I tried


x = ""
openvar x


which prints the error "unable to edit [0x0 'string'] objects".

Incidentally, with 0x0 matrices there is no error and there is nothing to
display because the matrix is empty.  I think it would at least be preferable
to copy that behavior and display nothing rather than an error message.
