Q: did you try to actually press one of f, b or q, as the line seems to suggest?

This is simply the pager (holding up input until you press e.g., f or q). So it is expected behavior. It is even a feature.

To turn this of, enter the command "more off". Then Octave behaves like Matlab: scrolling -if needed- 10,000 lines without giving you a chance to read what is passing by.
FYI, Matlab has the same "more" command, but Matlab has it "off" by default while Octave has it "on" by default.

<Closing with "invalid">

When I enter e.g. >> help plot in the command window and go through it with key f for forward, there is a graphical bug at the end.
The next command line is not empty but shows "less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit" from the help command.
Command line should look like: " >>    "
But it looks like: " >> less (100%) (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit"
