[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46522] clear all does not fix shadowed "help"

[Rik]

Update of bug #46522 (project octave):

              Item Group:        Incorrect Result => Regression             
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Confirmed.  This is actually a regression.  I had to go back to version 3.6.4
to find where Octave behaved correctly.

More details: It seems to only affect the command form of the keyword in
question.  If the identifier is used with function syntax then it works
correctly.

The sample code below works.


help = 1;
clear all;
help ("ls")  # works
help ls      # fails
