Hello,
it works fine as long as you do not have

whitespace_in_literal_matrix = "ignore";

in your '$(HOME)/.octaverc' which is my preferred setting as this
avoids a lot misunderstanding by me and you are free to write
vectors/matrices with a layout which is best to your taste.

The problem are some '[1 2 3]' vectors/matrices.  If you change them
to '[1, 2, 3]' all works fine.

Maybe this note helps others.

Bye
Thomas
