I don't know what changed, but now the pager works correctly with both "help plot" and "history".
I'm closing the bug report.

Ben, is the pager now working with jwe's break-up of octave into octave-gui, octave-cli, and octave (wrapper)? I'd love to close this bug.

Thanks Carlo. Unfortunately, using your modified options makes no difference for me.

Ben,
I'm now using slightly different configure options:
essentially I upgraded to llvm-3.3 and I added --without-x
to reduce dependencies for the app bundle, I am using the qt terminal by default as qt is already included in the bundle.

Using Carlo's configure options under MacOSX with macports, I still encounter the crash. If I recall correctly, Carlo is running MacOS 10.8 while I'm running 10.7

I'll do a maintainer-clean and then build using the configure options that Carlo has been using (included below).
I'll report back when done.

It's very strange that the pager would work in some cases and not other.
hg id please?

I see a slightly different behaviour:
the pager works correctly for "help plot"
or "randn (1000, 1)".
If I type "history" typing q just produces a "q"
at the bottom of the command window.
history browsing in the gui has never worked for me,
with or without this patch.

I reported on the mail-list that the pager was working for me now. Today I did some more testing.
The pager works for "help plot".
Unfortunately, when I type "history" something very wrong happens. The (f)orward and (b)ack work as expected. Typing (q)uit causes all Octave's Qt windows disappear. Octave does not exit, and the activity (task) manager indicates the CPU octave is running on is pegged at 100%.
Also the arrow keys do not allow me to browse the history.

I checked in a changeset that I hope will fix this issue:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b5d58667d32d
If you build in a separate directory tree, you may need to edit the src/.deps/main.Po file so that it refers to the new main.cc file that is supposed to be generated in the build tree instead of the main.cc file that used to be in the source tree.
I'll follow up with more info on the mailing list.

I deleted the attached file because it was incomplete. I posted a better version on the mailing list thread.

Tue 22 Oct 2013 05:44:25 PM UTC, original submission:
The pager does not work from the command window of the GUI. An email thread is below.
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2013-October/036737.html
The short story is that keystrokes in the command window of the gui have no effect since the keyboard remains connected to the terminal window used to originally launch Octave.
