Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for your bug report. This is a bit confusing. Is the m-file testme a
script or a function file? Does it contain the definition of a function or
does it execute the function? Or both? When I create a file testfunc.m with:


function testfunc ()
  disp ("before keyboard");
  keyboard ();
  disp ("after keyboard");
endfunction


and call testfunc from the command prompt, it works correctly. If I try to
"execute" it using "run" or "source", it does nothing (as expected). If I
"execute" it from the editor, yes I see what you are seeing.

I suspect that this should do nothing, because "executing" a file that
contains nothing but a function definition should just drop back to the shell.
So it does seem like a bug that running it from the GUI does something
different from "run testfunc" at the command line.
