[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58411] cellfun with "ErrorHandler" returns wrong message

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #58411 (project octave):

The original test code still doesn't produce Matlab behavior, but maybe that
is okay as the regression (disappearance of error message) is fixed.

Specifically, this code


cellfun ("factorial", {1,2,-3}, "ErrorHandler", @foo)


used to produce an error message and this numerical result


ans =

    1.0000e+00    2.0000e+00   2.5233e-310


It now produces this numerical result


ans =

   1   2   1


In Matlab, it produces the error


Output was expected but not returned while using Uniform output, at index 3.
Set ‘UniformOutput’ to false.


Do we want to leave this bug report open and change the Item Group to "Matlab
Compatibility" or should this be a new report.  My only reason for continuing
here is that there is already sample code and some interested parties.
