<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could someone try running this piece of code to see what’s going wrong, please?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose is to set up a display window with an associated event handler.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Function ‘Task’ contains an endless loop in which some measurements would be made and the results displayed in the window.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A mouse left click in the window should stop the endless loop allowing an exit from function ‘Task’ and moving on to the following lines of code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using Scilab 5.4.1 (I know it’s an older version but I’ve been using it for a long time and it works for me):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you place the caret at ‘// Point 1’ and execute with <CTRL>E the code should work correctly as shown in Capture 1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you place the caret at ‘//Point 2’ and do the same the loop will work but Scilab will run past the call to ‘Task’ and execute the following lines x3, x4, x5 (Capture 2). I would expect it to stop in function ‘Task’ until the function
is exited in the intended way by the mouse left click.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using Scilab 6.0.1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scilab is almost totally unresponsive to the mouse click. Something goes on in the background and when it does eventually stop the results are like Capture 3, 4 & 5. The same over-run of function ‘Task’ occurs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I missing something or is this a genuine bug?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
