[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57902] Confusing debug output from scripts

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57902 (project octave):

To fix bug #42705, the Run Selection feature was changed to write the
selection to temporary files and run those files. So yeah, if a breakpoint is
hit, the user is going to see those temporary files and be stepping through
artificially injected command lines.

If that's not desirable, if a goal is to be able to break and cleanly step
through commands in the selection and not make it look like it does now, then
maybe we need a new feature in the interpreter to support executing a sequence
of commands with the ability to break and without adding them to the command
history or making them look like they were pasted at the command prompt.
