[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44409] Reparenting the current axes under an uipanel makes it not current

[Rik]

Update of bug #44409 (project octave):

              Item Group:        Incorrect Result => Matlab Compatibility   
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I just tested with the development branch of Octave and this issue is still
present.  I've marked the bug as confirmed and changed the Item Group to
"Matlab Compatibility".

Frankly, Matlab's scheme is a little odd, but here is the annotated behavior.


clf;                        # creates new figure, "currentaxes" = []
hu = uipanel ();            # gcf "children" = hu
hax = gca ();               # gcf "children" = [hax; hu], "currentaxes" = hax

set (hax, "parent", hu);    # gcf "children" = hu, "currentaxes" = []
gca () == hax               # call to gca() creates new axes because
"currentaxes" is [].


The reparenting operation would need to be changed not to delete the
"currentaxes" property.  However, it would also have to be smart enough to
understand when an axes is re-parented to another figure or a uipanel of
another figure, in which case "currentaxes" does become [].  Oy, that's
starting to seem cumbersome to implement.
