[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44720] edit.m: Fails to open protected file if ~/octave does not exist

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44720 (project octave):

I think this is a bug.  There's no need to open a path/file without the user
intending to do so.  I'd say just open the file, perhaps with a dialog notice
saying it isn't editable but can be saved elsewhere or maybe some other
indication such as a grey background.  If the user attempts to save the file
then the system should complain.
