I believe I fixed it in this changeset on the stable branch (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/02a61d7c2de0). This will be a part of any 3.8.2 bug fix release.

Confirmed. This is actually a regression from 3.6.4 where this worked correctly. A huge amount of work was done on the plotting functions between 3.6.4 and 3.8.0 so I guess I'm not surprised that a bug crept in.

Here is a tiny script that shows the behavior I mean:

In Octave the plot command reuses the open figure window of waitbar and squeezes a distorted plot into it.

In Matlab the plot command opens a new window, regardless of the open and active waitbar window.

This is a disturbing behavior of Octave, because even the usual "close" command in front of the plot command does not get rid of the waitbar window (neither in Matlab nor in Octave):

In Matlab this isn't a problem, because its plot command (even without the leading close command) reopens its own figure window.
