Without a way to reproduce this issue we can't verify it nor fix it.  If a way can be found we can re-open this report.  Closing for now.

I still can't confirm this bug, but we have had two independent reports of this crash. Marking as needs info because we need help from someone who experiences this bug to give some more details how to pursue this.

This bug was apparently encountered by an independent reporter, see bug #41939 (now closed as duplicate).

Since 3.8.0 is now out, can you reproduce the problem on the existing code base?  I'm not sure if there is a PPA for it yet, but I don't think I would trust it anyways.  It's not hard to build from the tar.gz file on Ubuntu.  First get the 3.8.0 release from the Octave web site.  Then after unpacking it run something along these lines:


sudo apt-get build-dep octave
./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/local
make
make install


Which will install a very local copy that you can run with /home/<username>/local/bin/octave.

I installed from this PPA on both Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10, still unable to reproduce this bug with either version.

Can you try deleting your ~/.config/octave directory and see if it still crashes?

I'm not sure where you're getting that version from, there is no 4.1+ binary package in that PPA.

I do not see this error either on Debian testing, which uses qscintilla 2.7.2, same version as Ubuntu 13.04.

Alex, version 4.2 of what, do you mean you have built Octave from hg and see the same error?

It seems you are working with a quite old snapshot of the development version of octave. From the screenshot, the editor has no "Help" entry in the menu bar. This menu was added more than 2 months ago.
The code completion works fine on my system (ubuntu 12.04) with actual development version of octave. What version of qscintilla do you use?

My OS 13.04 64bit;octave:latest version that installed from repository: http://ppa.launchpad.net/octave/unstable/ubuntu,
Look at the picture,under code editor,after typing "fun",popup will show "function" for code completion,whichever "enter" or "tab" key got pressed,gui will exit immediately.
