[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8656] Variable Editor (expanded from Patch #8316)

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #46, patch #8656 (project octave):

Yep works fine.
I also see that clicking on a struct (or struct array) shows a (series of)
cell(s) with "1x1 struct". I don't remember if this already worked that way
but it looks good.

Some other things (on top of the already long laundry list):

1. Every time I change some variable value of some variable that is NOT in the
variable editor, the variable editor pane flashes. So there's apparently some
unnecessary overhead behind the scenes.  This has been so for a long time.

2. I tried it on a Java object and that worked out adversely:

f = javaObject ("java.lang.Double", 6.5)
    <open in Variable Editor> 
     ==> an infinite list of repeating errors:
error: [java] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a Java array
error: [java] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a Java array
error: [java] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a Java array
error: [java] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not a Java array
:


This also happens when I do something with the Java object and the variable
editor is shown with other variables - it looks related to 1. above.  The
variable editor apparently queries the workspace and hits the Java object
somehow.
