Prompt text of `input` function is not correctly shown

Open guger opened this issue 11 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug Using the input(...) function with a prompt text doesn't show the text correctly, but instead displays a "?". It does however wait for input and correctly returns the input to the code.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enter input("A number: ", "s") either in the code or in the MATLAB terminal.
  2. Observe the output of a "?" instead of the prompt text.

Expected behavior Show the correct prompt text.

@philipb314 Thank you for the quick response. I am aware that this was part of the known limitations list before the 1.3.0 release, but I couldn't find it anymore this time.
