Thanks for the bug report. This appears to be a known issue with the terminal used for the command window in Windows. Please see bug #45220, help to fix this is welcome, or work around by resizing the command window to be smaller.

Hello:

I am running octave 4.0.2 on windows 7 64 bit vm hosted on a mac with El Capitan in Parallels Desktop.

I have a Thunderbolt display with the resolution 2560x1440.

When I make the main Octave GUI window bigger than a certain size, the command window starts to flash and it displays all sorts of garbage characters. I attached a screenshot I took while the command window was flashing. It seems that a threshold for the command window is approximately 1320x965 including scrollbars, i.e. when the command window becomes bigger, it starts flashing garbage characters. The window is sensitive to increasing either the width or height. Also, if the width is smaller, it will start flashing a higher height.

I also posted this on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37145887/octave-gui-command-window-flashes-after-being-resized-to-a-bigger-size?noredirect=1#comment61833165_37145887
