[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59495] Entering certain glyphs might leave the GUI command window irresponsive

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #59495 (project octave):

(all windows 10)

pulling something from a recent copy/paste error:

틣‡>> numel(2.^(0:10))


if I copy/paste that into Octave 7.3.0, the prompt goes non-responsive, but
octave doesn't crash.

on an exit/reload, I see the text displayed in the Command history.  if I
double click that command history item, i get:


>> \355\213\243\357\277\202\357\277\275>> numel(2.^(0:10))

error: parse error:

  invalid character '' (ASCII 237)

>>> 틣틣ￂ�>> numel(2.^(0:10))
    ^


after which the Octave prompt continues to behave as normal.

Attempting the same in GNU Octave Version: 8.0.1 (hg id: 017ec2d748f7):

the characters paste in as expected. on hitting <enter> i get:

>> 틣틣ￂ>> numel(2.^(0:10))
error: parse error:

  invalid character '' (ASCII 237)

>>> 틣틣ￂ>> numel(2.^(0:10))
    ^


and the octave prompt remains responsive.

selecting the last command from the command history gives:


>> 틣틣ￂ�>> numel(2.^(0:10))

error: parse error:

  invalid character '' (ASCII 237)

>>> 틣틣ￂ�>> numel(2.^(0:10))
    ^
