It is bug #41337 and related.

The GUI in Octave 3.8.0 dmg on Mac was pretty unusable due partly to keyboard interactions in the terminal. AFAIK the most visible issues have been fixed in 3.8.2+ but there is currently no distributed dmg so users have to install Octave through package managers such as Macports or Homebrew.

To the author of comment #1, can you point to a bug report describing this "known behaviour"?

To the original poster, can you try 4.0.1 to see if the problem is still present?

Known behavior. Mac-user colleague now running Octave in Cygwin in Parallels.

I recently installed Octave on my Mac Book pro and I noticed every time that I open Octave it minimizes and maximizes itself 3 times. Also, the arrow keys are not working in Command window. I can neither move cursor back and force nor can call previous commands.
