[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#848102: [octave] crashed with some random typing in octave editor

[Ed Peguillan III <edward.j.peguillan-1@ou.edu>]

I confirm this issue. Typing in the editor causes octave to exit "with 
signal 11." I was able to stop it from crashing by disabling one or more 
text autocompletion features in preferences.

Menu: Edit -> Preferences... -> Editor -> Autocompletion

I just unchecked everything in that section, and it seems not to crash 
anymore.
