[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54600] edit mfile with an error crashes octave

[Torsten]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #54600 (project octave):

One option would be to just launch the command


edit this_function


with the following drawbacks:

* not responsive if the worker thread is busy
* does not find the file if not in the current path but in the directory of
the currently edited file or in a "private" subdirectory

However, the "edit" command actually opens a file with syntax error but still
detects built in functions. In "edit", the method "exist" is used. I will have
a look whether this can be used here, too.
