[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58382] Wrong scope when saving variables with "Run Selection"

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58382 (project octave):

I can reproduce the issue, but it also occurs when executing a script file.
When executing


A = 1


in the command line and running a script with 


who
save ("A.mat", "A")


afterwards, the variable "A" is listed by "who" as a variable in the current
scope but "save" fails with the same warning as in your post.

The documentation on script files says: "A script file also differs from a
function file in that the variables named in a script file are not local
variables, but are in the same scope as the other variables that are visible
on the command line."

If I understand this correctly, "who" is behaving like expected, but "save"
does not.
