ok, using your examples I'm able to recreate some of what you're seeing. I only see this when working from a network drive. Note if I kept reissuing the same command, Octave eventually would find and run the function.  I assume there is some sort of 'refresh' delay in the interpreter. even though the file shows up immediately in the File Browser window.

Here's a pared down version of the issue. Maybe with some discussion we can figure out if this is a bug that should be filed (I suggest yes):

*the following was done first on my local hard drive with no issue, then I went to

Octave 4.0.3, 32bit, windows zip file installer

Outside of Octave I created the folder M:\temp\testdata

Octave interpreter:

>> cd m:\temp\testdata

>> edit

in the editor, added the following two lines:

function test21

b = 12345

gui saved the file as test21.m in the folder created. Octave's File Browser window showed the test21.m file

Octave interpreter:

>> test21

error: 'test21' undefined near line 1 column 1

>> test21

b = 12345

created a test11 file in the gui, saved it, it showed up right away in the file browser

>> test11

error: 'test11' undefined near line 1 column 1

>> test11

error: 'test11' undefined near line 1 column 1

>> test11

error: 'test11' undefined near line 1 column 1

>> test11

b = 123456789

So, now that I can recreate the issue, can anyone explain why this occurs?
