[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #60122 (project octave):

Torsten:  You might also try this change:

I'm not sure that is the correct place or if it would be better to put it in
the interpreter_event lambda function in main_window::run_file_in_terminal. 
Maybe it is needed in several more locations in the GUI?  Maybe it is even
something that should be done for all these interpreter callback events that
are the result of user interaction.  After all, these are similar to user
inputs at the command prompt, but entered using a button in the GUI instead of
a command in the terminal widget.
