from within emacs open the following script file

--------
# octave script script.m

x = pi ;
--------

Then do

1. set editing to octave-mode (M-x octave-mode).
2. mark the entire line "x = pi ;" as a region
3. issue the command `octave-send-region' (C-c C-i r).

expected result: command is executed and region is inactive
actual result: command is executed but region is still active

This happens now consistently with the current live Ubuntu 18.04 LTS after installing emacs25 and octave-4.2.2. -- However, I see the behavior on and off for at least 3 years.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 26-28 with "emacs -Q".  Are you
still seeing this issue in more recent Emacs versions?

Yes, I'm still seeing it (emacs 28.0.50). But It seems that some
editing is required
to see the issue consistently.

Would it be possible for you to come up with a recipe to reproduce the
bug?  That'll help greatly when trying to debug it.

as I said: one just has to edit the file at first. So the steps to
reproduce the bug should be:

1. type return ; type backspace
2. set editing to octave-mode (M-x octave-mode).
3. mark the entire line "x = pi ;" as a region
4. issue the command `octave-send-region' (C-c C-i r).

Thanks; I can reproduce the problem now.  Fixed in Emacs 28.
