[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53209] inputdlg crashes if prompt and default cell arrays are different sizes

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #53209 (project octave):

Yes my fix makes inputdlgś error checking Matlab-compatible, below is what
Matlab r2018a prerelease makes of the original example and a fixed one:


>> h = inputdlg ({'foo', 'bar'}, 'title', 1, {'123'})
Index exceeds array bounds.

Error in inputdlg (line 260)
  if ~ischar(DefAns{lp})
 
>> h = inputdlg ({'foo', 'bar'}, 'title', 1, {'123', '456'})

% (a neat inputdlg windows pops up with default values 123 and 456)

h =

  2×1 cell array

    {'123'}
    {'456'}
