[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65421] patch fails to render if cdata is specified before geometry in property/value calling form

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #65421 (group octave):

ok, I think i see what you mean now. 

there are a number of other cases where you can use set() to change properties
in a way that breaks plotting/rendering ability. but yes, it seems possible
we'd hit the same problem by doing a multiple-property set(). sidestepping the
bug at patch creation is likely insufficient.  i'll run a few tests and see if
I can come up with such a combination of patch creation and set changes to
trigger this same issue.  absent anything else, an xfail BIST set would be
useful.

Assuming that's the case, then we _could_ opt to keep a bandaid solution in
__patch__ as a temporary / partial fix. as it's on default there's less need
for that. 

The question is which is more likely: we fall into waiting for a complete fix
in graphics.cc, and it never happening due to priorities, or the partial/temp
fix being implemented, and the full fix never happens because that even
further lowers any priority. :)
