Works fine with 64-b Octave-4.1.0+ on Win 10 (64bit)

I'll try to test in Windows 10.
I suppose (hope) that if it works there, it'll work in Win8.1 as well.

Maybe so.
See this thread where other issues with Win8.1 have been reported:

Could be an issue specific to win8.1 then, I guess....

@comments 2 & 3:
Tried the script from my comment #1 with 3000 point; works fine, but takes a while (1 min 41 s).
Octave uses 224 Kb of RAM then (from Task Mgr).

With 10,000 points it also works fine; with tic; ... ; toc around it: "Elapsed time is 292.357 seconds", RAM usage ~290 Kb.

Again from the GUI:
x = [1:N];
y=sin(x);
scatter(x,y,[],sqrt(x))

works with N=1200, but crashes with N=1300.

demo scatter works fine.

using
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
octave still crashes, giving the same error.

A further update:
I called the same from the CLI, rather than the GUI. It still crashes, but it provides the following message:

panic: Segmentation violation -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete

The data is the same as per my last comment:
x = [1:2304];

The number of points is what I was going to ask about.

For example does "demo scatter" work fine for you? What is the minimum N size of x, y, and color that causes the crash?

Can you also try with "graphics_toolkit gnuplot" and see if there is still a crash?

Please, try that with more points.
I tried using
x = [1:2304];
and that caused the system to crash.

On my Win7 64-bit box the following works for me with octave-4.0.0 (as released of ftp.gnu.org) and 64-bit 4.1.0+ (development version), with fltk and qt toolkits:

x = 1:10
y = sin(x)
scatter (x, y, [], sqrt (x))


So if it is a bug at all, it looks to be something specific for Win 8.

Running on windows 8. Whenever I call the method
scatter(x, y, [], color)
The GUI hangs for a while and then crashes and closes. Starting a debug session with Visual Studio 2008 reports:

Unhandled exception at 0x6b3f5a41 in octave-gui.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000010.

If I call scatter(x,y) or even scatter(x,y, color) I get no error. Of course in these options I am not actually using the color.

Note that x, y and color are all a 1byN arrays of floating point value. The same error happens for any value I pass as third parameter.
