Details:
In GUI, open editor, click "New" button and start typing (anything).
Then, in command window, press Ctrl-d (or close Octave otherwise).
Now the editor suggest to save the "new" (not yet saved or created) file, but
suggests the current working directory name as new file name (= misleading).
The editor should detect that the new file hasn't been assigned a file name
yet and should not suggest a file name at all. Only when clicking "Yes" a file
save dialog should show up.
If one clicks "Yes", the file isn't saved at all (and luckily the working
directory isn't screwed up)
The former here (=no saved file) is both misleading and incorrect.
I've set OS to "any" but I cannot verify that all is the same on Linux - can't
(=don't dare to) try as ./run-octave& wants to save into/over my build dir (so
at least the misleading file name happens on Linux too).
