Public bug reported:
How to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 16.04 MATE, 64-bit version:
1.) Create a file, e.g. add.m with a single line
a = 2 + 3
2.) Launch GNU Octave in the non-interactive regime, either issuing the
command
octave -q -f add.m
or even
octave -q -f --no-gui add.m
3.) In both cases an annoying message
/usr/share/themes/Radiant-MATE/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid
string constant "scrollbar", expected valid string constant
is typed on the terminal, before the result of the calculation appears.
Please realise that if one makes a series of non-interactive
calculations with GNU Octave then the terminal workspace becomes covered
by useless information, the repeated messages are really annoying and
working with the program becomes uncomfortable.
