Have you also tried the 4.0.0-rc4 installer from [1]

[1] ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/

Experiencing the same thing in 3.8.2. Texts get mangled up, doesn't erase completely when deleting characters etc.

Win 8.1. Used installer.

Cursor behaves as expected in editor.

Did you use the installer or portable?

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on Lenovo T440s
Unofficial Octave MXE build 3.8.2-3 from http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/

In the command window, the cursor is to the left of the typing position, e.g. if I type the digits "0123456789" at the prompt, the cursor appears just to the left of the space between the 5 and 6. If one selects, copies, and pastes the text, it does not correspond with the highlighted text.

I have tried several different fonts, font sizes, and all the cursors with approximately the same results.
