[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58323] '...' continuation marker causes parse error when executed with "run selection" in GUI editor

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #58323 (project octave):

There might be another issue with the current design:
Assume the following code snippet:

for i=1:3
  disp(i)
end


In Matlab, I can mark the first two lines and "F9" them. Then at the command
prompt, I would be able to enter any command (e.g. "a=3"). After that, I can
mark the last line of the above code snippet and "F9" it.
The result would be the following:

>> for i=1:3
  disp(i)
a=3
end
     1


a =

     3

     2


a =

     3

     3


a =

     3


I haven't tried if that would work in Octave (but I think it wouldn't).
I also don't know if this is a use case we need to support. What do you think?
