[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8656] Variable Editor (expanded from Patch #8316)

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #38, patch #8656 (project octave):

Turns out the variable editor can be awfully slow. Displaying a 120x400 matrix
("a = rand (120, 400)") takes ~3 minutes (on Linux) or 10 minutes (Windows)
before the command line pane prompt responds again. 

"tic ; openvar ('a') ; toc" is deceptive as it returns immediately but the
variable editor keeps the prompt until it is completely finished.

Could it be that it renders the entire matrix beyond the window limits?
