[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63545] Errors shown repeatedly when there is an error in method size()

[Rik]

Update of bug #63545 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => GUI                    
              Item Group:                    None => Other                  
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

The problem, as Dmitri noted, is only in the GUI.  Octave creates the object
successfully in either the CLI or GUI.  But in the CLI an error is only issued
when the function size() is called.  In the GUI, there is a Workspace Window
which displays defined variables along with their class, size, value, and any
attributes.  This is, essentially, the output of the whos() function.  It
executes this function periodically, and regardless of whether the Workspace
Window is displayed.

This is annoying, but I'm not sure there is a simple way to fix it.  I'm not
that familiar with the GUI code so someone who does know more should comment.

Two workarounds for the moment:

1) Develop code in the CLI.
2) Use the menu option Edit->Clear Workspace to remove the problem variable
containing the badly formed classdef object.
