Hi, I am writing this in order to understand if this is a known bug, and if not to submit a bug in Savannah. The background, I am using octave in Fedora 32, compiled using gcc 10 and qt 5.13.2 among others. My first annoyance is that sometimes is a if the editor looses the focus, I do not know where the cursor is. I do not know I get in this state. The work around is simple, changing to the command line and back gets the focus again. Sometimes the shortcuts do not work, e.g. Ctr+S to save or copy or paste.... Again the solution is to use the mouse, clicking over the document and then all works again. It is weird... :-) Another small annoyance, this time not related with the Editor is that when working with namespaces I need to quit octave and restart it so that a change in the folder structure is reflected in the namespace. As an example suppose that suppose that I have a structure like this: +dir1/+dir2/file1.m +dir1/+dir3/file2.m +dir1/file3.m If add another file or directory to this structure, let us says +dir1/file4.m and I refer to dir1.file4 Octave throws an error complaining that dir1.file4 does not exists. Restarting and starting over fixes this. Is there any workaround? E.g. when using classes and touching a classdef file issuing "clear classes" allows the changes to be known. Thank you for the amazing work done on octave. Best regards, -- José Matos
