Details:

During debugging a script it's common to copy-paste snippets of code to the
Octave command prompt (REPL) for live evaluation. This used to work but now
triggers a parse error with full-line comments.

This causes an error:

for i = 1:10
  # i represents the index
  disp(i)
end


Moving the comment to the end of the line is OK:

for i = 1:10
  disp(i) # i represents the index
end


Both of the above work as intended in scripts and function files. Only the
REPL is affected.
