Only had to change font config for urxvt from

URxvt.font:       -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
URxvt.boldFont:   -*-terminus-bold-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*

to

URxvt.font:       xft:Terminus:pixelsize=14
URxvt.boldFont:   xft:Terminus:bold:pixelsize=14

Thanks for fixing #1575520

Works

Seems like it still failing when doing CTRL-D in octave-cli :(

The master branch has it fixed it seems, at least they doen't do that crazy "last index" calculations anymore: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/annotate/057a894914df/libinterp/corefcn/input.cc#l263

@orion, does it worth to open a ticket with request to backport the fix? Or better just wait for the next release and do not use CTRL-D?

This update has been unpushed.

There was new release already https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539671

Scott, could you include that into this update?

Anything specific you are waiting for?

The soname is different, because I've convinced upstream to version shared object, and previous version managed to reach stable with 0.0.0.

This update has been unpushed.
