Thread Subject: 2008a evaluate selection / keyboard

I recently went from 2006b to 2008a and find that Right Click-
>Evaluate Selection no longer works if I am at a keyboard break point
and if there is a for loop in the code. Same problem with cut and
paste of code into the command line.

E.g. put a keyboard command somewhere in your function, then copy and
paste this snippet into the command window

temp = 0;
for j=1:10
    temp=temp+j;
end

For me the result is nothing happens and there is a Continue entering
statement message in the status bar. Is there any way to make it work
again like the previous version?

Bump - can someone confirm this bug? Please :)

Try pressing return once after the paste. Pasted code is not always executed line
by line as it logically arrives at the buffer: sometimes you have to press return.

I tried pressing return - it stays in the 'continue entering statement
mode'. Typing 'end' does get out this mode but it doesn't evaluate the
pasted code. If there are no other responses, I'll go ahead and file a
bug.

I certainly can, although I'm in R2007a. It's quite frustrating... :-( I don't suppose you came up with a solution?

Bump: I have the identical bug. it makes it near impossible to work with the jvm and for loops. typing end will end the "continue statement" but nothing will be evaluated.

Even copying the text to a separate text file and then pasting into the matlab editor fails
the only way to evaluate my code is to type it directly into the editor, an unacceptable solution.

Maybe my bug is not quite the same but I find that I can evaluate a long section of code so long as I do it in snippets, esp doing FOR loops individually. Sometimes though I find that Matlab seems to take on a mind of its own and evaluate a subsequent section of code that was not highlighted for evaluation (again, this is usually with respect to FOR loops that get evaluated without me telling Matlab to do so)...

I have the same bug in version R2009a. Did this get fixed? Or is there a workaround?

Thanks
