octave @8.1.0 odd behaviour when using gui

[ggeers]

Hi, when I start octave --gui from my home directory I get a bunch of lines like:

023-03-15 12:09:55.982 octave-gui[2006:42453] Path  given to -[NSWorkspace iconForFile:] is not a full path.

in the octave command window.

If I click out of the octave window (outside all the octave panels) I get a similar line (one) and when I click back into any of the octave panels I get one similar line in the command window.

However, if I start octave --gui in a directory with a name starting with '.' I get none of these odd lines on startup or when I click in and out of the window. But if I change directory the lines and behaviour noted previously recurs.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled all dependencies and octave with no joy.

Any help would with solving this problem would be wonderful.

Thanks,
Glenn
