Details:

Hey guys.
When I use the editor and insert a newline between two code-lines, the cursor
is not placed where it should be.
If I remember correctly, this bug has always been there, as long as I used
octave (4.x). I am currently using 5.1.0 though.

Example; editing a new file with the content:

function thisIsATest()
        disp("test");
endfunction


Put the cursor at the end of the first line. When I now press Enter, to insert
a new line, I would expect the cursor to land in this line, with the proper
indendation as taken from the line below it. Instead, the cursor lands here
(before the "i"):

function thisIsATest()
        disp("test");
         ^

This only happens when there are two code-lines directly beneath each other.
This makes inserting multiple newlines pretty cumbersome, as you might
imagine.
