I'm not sure if this is a bug or just an oddity:
1. open a script for editing/running
2. edit a line from say a comment to an executable command
3. attempt to select this edited line as a breakpoint
4. breakpoint appears not on the edited line, but in the next executable
line.

Workaround is to save and close the file and Octave, reopen Octave and
the file, the edited line is now selectable as a breakpoint. Feels like
a caching issue. Reportable in bug list?

Hello,

I can confirm your observation for the latest development release.

>> ver

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

GNU Octave Version 4.1.0+

GNU Octave License: GNU General Public License

Operating System: Linux 3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 17:04:55 UTC 2013 x86_64

no packages installed.

I think it is worth to file a bug. But as often said, the GUI is still experimental by now. So expect to live with certain workarounds until the next release.

Best,

Kai
