Greetings Michael, I'm certainly not saying that bugs in plotting are necessary not serious bugs. All was saying is that I would like this category to exclude them, and even for that, you have almost convinced me otherwise. If a plot looks "right", but plots the wrong numbers, that possibly belongs in the same category. I mainly wanted to exclude bugs like the top 8 open bugs from Category=Plotting and Item Group = Incorrect Result:
Good. But, this is just a reminder that we somehow need to clearly distinguish: category means: "result is not correct due to an error in the computation or in the displayed results" from the category means: "the behavior of Octave does not match the documentation of what was "expected" or what the user thinks would be better, or compatible with Matlab, or ..." Right now I cannot think of any unambiguous short phrases that make this clear. Suggestions??? Michael
