On Mageia-3:

Summary:

  PASS     11598
  FAIL         0
  XFAIL        7

When running rundemos.m, I see a few of these:

=========================================
:
- test inputdlg with prescribed row by column sizes and defaults.
Press <enter> to continue:
/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct382rc2/../octave-3.8.2-rc2/scripts/gui/listdlg.m
example 1:
 disp ('- test listdlg with selectionmode single. No caption, no prompt.');
 itemlist = {'An item \\alpha', 'another', 'yet another'};
 s = listdlg ('ListString',itemlist, 'SelectionMode','Single');
 imax = numel (s);
 for i=1:1:imax
   disp (['Selected: ',num2str (i),': ', itemlist{s (i)}]);
 end

- test listdlg with selectionmode single. No caption, no prompt.
/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct382rc2/../octave-3.8.2-rc2/scripts/gui/listdlg.m
example 1: failed
Invalid call to num2str.  Correct usage is:

 -- Function File:  num2str (X)
 -- Function File:  num2str (X, PRECISION)
 -- Function File:  num2str (X, FORMAT)

Press <enter> to continue:

# and much further down:

/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct382rc2/../octave-3.8.2-rc2/scripts/image/imshow.m
example 4: failed
ind2rgb: MAP must be a valid colormap
=========================================

A changeset for listdlg.m is attached.
I'll leave a fix for imshow.m to the image processing experts :-)

Noting that you applied bugfix #42609 to stable, would it be possible to
also include the fix for bug #42528 to stable (I've uploaded a cs with
better description) and backport bugfix for #42343?
AFAICS these fixes don't change behavior but simply rectify incorrect
results, much like the fix for #42609.

Thanks,

Philip
