[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62791] GUI opens duplicate CLI with new Terminal App in Windows 11

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62791 (project octave):

Unfortunately, users seem to be ignoring the warning during installation that
was added for Octave for Windows 8.4.0:
https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/4f25eb25a80b

We are still getting reports about this for Octave 8.4.0, e.g., bug #64932.

Maybe, it would help to go a step further and nag those users with a warning
on each startup. See the attached patch.

Potentially, we should go even another step further and open a warning dialog
that a user would need to close manually to really make them realize that they
are using an unsupported configuration.

I'd prefer the latter, but didn't come around to adapt the patch for it yet.

Would adding something like that in Octave's startup file be ok?
