Details:

Pasting the following into a new blank tab in the GUI editor


dn = tempname ();
mkdir (dn);
rmdir (dn);


selecting all lines, and running the selection with "Run Selection" or F9,
causes Octave to prompt for the editor tab to be closed or saved as a new file
when it gets to the 'rmdir' function call. This is a regression from Octave
4.4 where it worked fine, the unsaved file stays open in the editor and the
lines are executed as expected in the command window.

Screenshot from Octave 5.1.0 showing the prompt attached. The prompt seems to
say that Octave thinks a file has been deleted, but there was never a file
associated with the tab to begin with.
