Dear Rodrigo,

Thanks for reporting this. In the future use the help or maintainers
mailing list, or the bug tracker
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave
This way your report doesn't get lost in my inbox.

Is it possible that you provide a minimum version of your code that
reproduces the failure? It might be a simplified version of your
script.
If we can't reproduce it is very hard to search for the issue.

Btw, what OS are you working on? If you are in windows by installing a
nw version of Octave you get a new version of the package, so it might
well be that we have introduced a bug.

Regards,
