[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55823] Calling a subfunction containing rmdir() from a m-file in an editortab closes the tab

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #40, bug #55823 (project octave):

> _the editor tabs were also closed at the end of the io package
installation_

Hah, another weird bug feature.
The file  __init_io__.m  is the candidate.
You could try "pkg load io" from an editor tab and see if that tab gets
closed.

@Torsten, can you confirm that the bug is only exposed after first running
xlsread() (using OCT interface, i.e., w/o Java and/or Excel)?

Again, the bug at hand there didn't occur until early August 2018; so that
seems to suggest the problems here could be related to these csets by you that
were pushed on Aug. 5:

c2a703df0215 preserve tab position and line when reloading renamed editor file
(bug #49322)

-and/or-

d3c6de326bae) close/reload editor tab when file is (re)moved in gui terminal
(bug #43922)

but that may be a red herring, as it can also be that those csets uncovered
some bug in io. But I cannot imagine where that should occur. Nowhere does the
io package link to files in the GUI editor.

Anyay I'll check the io package logic.
