Confirmed on dev Octave as well, on Win10 version 1709.

Pager ("more ...") on or off makes no difference. The window contents just can't be scrolled back.

I'm afraid this is caused by Win10's newest feature update. Win10 is a moving target it seems :-(

I have this problem too. I noticed also that I can use the scroll bar to scroll up and briefly see text above what's shown, but it jumps back to the bottom persistently. I have to keep dragging it to have it jump to the right location for a brief second, but as soon as I stop it jumps back down. I can't say when it started, because it certainly used to be able to scroll up.

I also have this problem. This seems to have started after the Windows 10 FCU update. Octave 4.2.1 from the installer.

I am also having this problem, Windows 10, Octave 4.2.1. Any thoughts anyone?

When executing command:
(1:100)'

I can scroll up the command window, while 'more' is not finished.
When it is finished, I can't scroll up anymore.

Another strange this is this:
The command window seems to have some sort of line buffer,
I can scroll down, into the space where nothing has ever been printed (what's the use for this?), but I can't scroll up.

It seems the algorithm which checks where the cursor is, and keeps it in view, is wrong.
