#2492 inline data input does not accept keyboard inputs on cosole mode gnuplot windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

On console mode gnuplot (gnuplot.exe) on windows does not accept any input from key board on interactive session,

gnuplot> plot '-'
input data ('e' ends) > (any input from keyboard are not accepted)

For me I have confirmed 5.2.8, 5.4.2, 5.4.3 and 5.5.0.
For wgnuplot.exe and , there are no strange behaviors.

Also datablock inline input does not accecpt keyboard input on console mode gnuplot for windows.

gnuplot> $Mydata << EOD
(no keyboard ipuputs were accecpted!!)

Confirmed. Does the patch in bug report [#2491] fix the issue by an chance? It is not unlikely that these are related.

[Bastian Märkisch]

No. It does not fix the problem.

[Takashi Yano]

The patch in [#2491] is affected only when the terminal is not a console (when _isatty() returns 0). This seems to be a different problem.

[Bastian Märkisch]

Fixed in master. The console variant of fgets() was utterly broken. But since it is only ever called for interactive data input, it wasn't noticed for six years.

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

I have confirmed the fix in the 5.5 (master).
