I am closing the bug. It can be reopened if someone runs into this issue again.

Indeed. I updated to Ubuntu 14.04 and the issue seems solved (with 4.1+). Should this bug be closed as I am the only one who seems to have been affected?

I cannot reproduce this problem.
Ubuntu 14.04 and octave 4.1+

Is this still a problem?????

The option was selected. Removing it did not change the behaviour, but added a small delay before the disappearance of the text. Indeed, when the option is disabled (and global shortcuts are enabled) if I swich, I can see for half a second the text before it gets deleted.

What is the state of the preference "Disable global shortcuts when terminal window has focus" in the shortcuts tab? Could you please invert the selection and test again?

Yes, it happens when switching from the command window to the editor window, but not when switching from the documentation window.

Does the issue occur every time the editor tab with highlighted text gets the focus (e.g. by changing from command window into the editor window) or only when switching between editor tabs?

Oops, I lost something. I was trying to say that I used just "--disable-jit" to configure it and that I am running it on Linux 13.10.

I attached a short video that demonstrates the behaviour. In fact, it happens when I switch by clicking on another tab and clicking back (left button of the mouse). I restore by pressing ctrl+z.

I am running Octave 4.1.0+ compiled yesterday morning with

./configure --disable-jit
make
+verbatim+
from sources on a Linux 13.10 distribution.

Thank you for your report. How do you change between the tabs? I can't reproduce the issue when switching by clicking on the related tabs.

Let's say I have two files opened in two tabs A and B of the editor. If I select some text in A, then I switch to B and then back to A, the text I had selected disappears. It can be recovered with the undo command, but I guess it's not the intended behaviour.
