[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54391] Incorrect result when attempting to type or paste UTF-8 Cyrillic text into octave CLI

[Alan W. Irwin]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #54391 (project octave):

Mike Miller asked:
> Have you tried experimenting with different readline settings?

Not until now when I tried your suggestion of -no-line-editing which I confirm
on my (Debian Buster) system allows cut and paste
of

x="Частота"

to work properly with the octave CLI.

I also tried the experiment of cutting and pasting the above command in the
Python CLI (since I am virtually positive that the Python CLI
uses the readline library).  In that case I got the (correct)
result:

>>> x="Частота"
>>> x
'\xd0\xa7\xd0\xb0\xd1\x81\xd1\x82\xd0\xbe\xd1\x82\xd0\xb0'

So I am fairly sure the issue is not due to some bug in libreadline, but might
be caused by some difference between how the Python and Octave CLI's use
libreadline.
