Details:

A variable in the current scope cannot be saved with "Run Selection" (F9):

A = 1;
save ("A.mat", "A");


First execute the first line of the code snippet. Then, select the second line
and press F9.
The variable "A" should be stored in "A.mat". Instead, I see the following
warning and the resulting file cannot be loaded:

warning: save: no such variable 'A'
warning: called from
    /tmp/octave/octave_cUzvHO.m at line 1 column 4
