Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.

This is pretty braindead.  When you select the entire row, it uses the last
column displayed in the variable editor to determine the range of values to
plot.  Even though there are only 11 elements in the vector, there are extra
columns displayed in case you wanted to append elements in the variable
editor.  The last column displayed is 27.  Hence, the issued plot command


figure (); plot (t(1, 1:27)); title ("t(1, 1:27)");


makes sense, but also generates an error.


error: t(_,27): but t has size 1x11


Probably the easiest thing to do would be to substitute the magic keyword
"end", instead of the column number, when the selection is larger than the
variable size.
