Ok, then what I believe you are seeing is the expected behavior in the current version of Octave. To explain a little further:
Double-clicking an m file, say myfile.m, runs the command "octave --force-gui myfile.m". The current behavior of Octave 4.0 is to run the script defined in that file to completion, and then exit. This sounds like what you are seeing. If you instead run "octave --force-gui --persist myfile.m" then the Octave GUI will stay active and accept further interactive commands. If you'd like to propose different functionality for what Octave should do when an m file is double-clicked, it would be best to open a feature request bug report against the upstream project here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=octave -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524251 Title: Octave crashes when opening an m file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1524251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
