Thanks for your bug report. I'm unable to reproduce this in a Debian 7 VM with 3.8.2-2~bpo70+1 installed from the backports repository. Do you have any .octaverc files that might be customizing something? Does octave --norc change anything for you? Do you see the same behavior if you run Octave without --force-gui, or is it only when done in the GUI?

System: Linux Debian wheezy.
I installed Octave 3.8.2. from wheezy-backports.

I start octave with

# octave --force-gui

and get after the copyright notice the prompt. When I enter (e.g.)

>> plot(1:2);


the plot appears in a new window, but

  • I don't get a prompt (>>) in the command window.
  • I can still (blindly) enter commands in the command window that will be executed (e.g. if I type "plot(1:3) <ENTER>" the plot will be updated. I can also type "x=1 <ENTER>" and will see the corresponding variable appear in the workspace window.)
  • But I will not see any output in the command window.

The command windows works as expected if I don't use plot commands.
