Details:

Tested on Windows in Octave 6.4.0 and 7.0.1 (hg id: 366aa563dd2e)

creating a classdef class, I started getting an odd empty figure window to pop
up when creating the object. after some trial and error, I found that having a
methods section with (Access = hidden) appears to be the trigger. it seems to
not matted what populates the methods, properties, etc.

testclassdef.m:


classdef testclassdef

  methods (Access = public)
    function this = testclassdef (varargin)
      a = 1
    endfunction
  endmethods

#  methods (Access = hidden)
#  endmethods

endclassdef



>> close all;clear all;
>> testclassdef
a = 1
ans =

  testclassdef object with properties:


uncomment the hidden methods section


>> close all;clear all;
>> testclassdef
**empty figure window appears**
a = 1
ans =

  testclassdef object with properties:
