bug#63428: 29.0.60; Octave Mode: Interacting with plots

[william.emerson.tower]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In /emacs/29.0.60/lisp/progmodes/octave.el line 658:

(defcustom inferior-octave-startup-args '("-i" 
"--no-line-editing")
  "List of command line arguments for the inferior Octave process.
For example, for suppressing the startup message and using 
`traditional'
mode, include \"-q\" and \"--traditional\"."
  :type '(repeat string)
  :version "24.4")

should instead pass the argument --line-editing, so:

(defcustom inferior-octave-startup-args '("-i" "--line-editing")
  "List of command line arguments for the inferior Octave process.
For example, for suppressing the startup message and using 
`traditional'
mode, include \"-q\" and \"--traditional\"."
  :type '(repeat string)
  :version "24.4")


Failure to do so results in the user not being able to interact 
with
generated graphs and figures with the mouse or keyboard. Which is 
very
frustrating!

Leo or John, could you perhaps comment on the above?  Thanks in advance.

I failed to understand why --no-line-editing would interfere with
interaction with graphs. --no-line-editing is there because line editing
is provided for by emacs/comint.

Are those graphs written to disk (and shown in emacs), or displayed in a
(GUI) popup?

I noticed that the bug reporter wasn't copied into your reply, so I did
that here.
