[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52556] Octave stops writing to console

[Georg Wiora]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #52556 (project octave):

Thank you for your testing hints! I tried the following

1. Can you try making a new m-file by copying say "sym.m" to "mwe.m" and
repeating your test?
* The bug still occurs at the same position, octave of course complains
_"warning: function name 'sym' does not agree with function filename"_

2. You can also try removing the "@seealso" line and see what happens.
*This does not change the behaviour.

3. Can we delete most stuff from mwe.m to find the smallest possible example
that shows this bug?

* Removing all UTF-8 characters: No change
* *The following did change the behaviour:* Changing document encoding
declaration in line 21 from


  %% @documentencoding UTF-8

to


  %% @documentencoding ASCII


After this change the error does not occur any more, but help does print a lot
of error messages of the following kind:


ascii "\xE2" does not map to Unicode at /usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm
line 1959, <FH> line 114.


4. Does the "no-newline-after-help" happen with e.g., "help qr" as well? 
* No, it does not show up with "help qr".
