Scilab 2026.0 annoying bug

Here is a simple case to trigger the bug

for i=1:5
a=ones(5,5)
b=ones(a(:,i))
disp(a)
disp(b)
end

Now if I remove the last parenthesis on the line b= i got an error message :

b=ones(a(:,i)
^
Erreur : 15.1->16.1 syntax error, unexpected end of line, expecting , or )

This is expected, but if now I replace the last parenthesis I get this new error message :

^
Erreur : 19.1->20.1 syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting end

Is it just me that trigger this behavior? Each time I need to close Scilab and restart.

Hello,

This is a known bug (see parser state is puzzled after missing parenthesis error (#17511) · Issues · scilab / scilab · GitLab) which has been fixed in the continuous build.

S.

This issue has been fixed in the newly released Scilab 2026.0.1. Thank you for reporting it - this was the root cause of the release.
