[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44202] Some documentation items are accessible using "doc" in cli but not in GUI

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44202 (project octave):

I was playing with this in 4.2.0 and it seems that the GUI intercepts calls to
doc. I made some changes to doc.m (displaying random text, etc), and it seemed
that they are ignored. I put 'keyboard' as the first line in the function,
well before the:


    if (isguirunning ())
      __octave_link_show_doc__ (function_name);
    else


and the window jumped right over to the Documentation tab showing the
requested function, nothing different in the interpreter.  I was thinking of
stepping through doc.m to see why it works from the cli but not the gui, but
doc.m seems to not matter.

So, how is a doc call handled in the GUI?
