[Scilab-users] Scilab 6 problem with "Prettify"

[Pierre Vuillemin]

Dear Claus, 

I've not experienced any issue on Scilab 6 so far with this routine. 

If this error shows up even if the code is not executed then the error
may come from elsewhere? I've had some issues with Scilab 6 error
messages pointing out the wrong chunk of code. 

The "invalid buffer" message may indicate that there is a problem during
the first run. I would start by investigating this part. 

Best regards, 

Pierre

This part of the code is in a section that is controlled by an if-statement, and even if I make sure the condition is false (so that the Prettify code is not executed), Scilab still spits out this error. It's really weird - and even weirder it doesn't get the error the first time that the code is executed.
