Hello,

Did you try using the last nightly from the 6.x-branch, like I suggested 
two days ago?

https://www.scilab.org/en/development/nightly_builds/branch60

Did it work?
If it worked, it means this is not an unsolved problem, it is just a 
matter of getting this fix to an official scilab release and wait for it 
to be packaged by your distro.

Cheers,

Antoine
