Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Structure field completion problem

[Eric C. <mat...@ca...>]

I've been trying that patch for the last day or so and it works great,  
thanks a lot for putting that up - now this interface is much more  
usable for me than the default matlab gui.  There are still a couple  
of warts for me, but overall I'm really happy with everything.  I'm  
not much of a lisp programmer, but if it would help to submit the bugs  
I notice, is there an official place to do that (bugzilla/ 
sourceforge/?), or is this list the best way?  One that I've come  
across (and it may just be something from ECB or some other module) is  
that when selecting "run cell" or "run region", my current window is  
split into 2 frames viewing the current .m file.  It's not a big deal,  
but I'm not sure if this is from matlab-mode or some other plugin.
Thanks again,
Eric
