[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61080] GUI Editor cannot handle network paths

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #61080 (project octave):

Thanks for testing.

After a wild goose chase in and around load_path.cc, I realized that "edit.m"
is *not* calling `file_in_loadpath`. It probably should do that because that
function takes advantage of caching (which might be noticeable on network
shares).
Our load path classes seem to handle UNC paths correctly afaict. So to kill
two birds with one stone, I pushed the following change to fix the issue with
`edit` when files are on UNC shares:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/997cf870a963

Additionally, it looks like `file_in_path` isn't able to find files in network
shares.

I'll try to have a look at this soon.
