Of course there are some remaining things:
- Octave starts off with a "-K>>" prompt (JD I think you
mentioned this) and no blinking cursor (bug #39259)____
Do you start octave from the MSYS shell?____
If you do, try to unset TERM variable, like: TERM= octave.exe
<JD:>
Unsetting term works for me____
The problem is that octave inherits TERM from the shell, I think it's
set to something like cygwin or rxvt (I don't remember). And readline
then starts sending control sequences that are not understood by the
windows terminal.
The -[K>> prompt doesn't appear in octave-cli. It's only an issue in the GUI command window (and only before the first command is entered.)
Does that still fit the picture?
