Using a longer message results in the caption being displayed correctly.  Thanks all.

Can the original poster confirm that using a longer message string allows for the title to be displayed?  This looks to simply be an upstream issue in how much space the window manager reserves for the minimize, maximize, and close buttons on the title bar.  Marking as "Works For Me".

Same for me on Windows 10.

This seems to work on Linux.  Using the test code I get the following image:

The title is squished because the window is small, but it is still there.

Maybe you could take a screenshot of what it looks like on your computer and upload that.

Also, 6.1.0 is an older version of Octave.  The current stable release is version 6.3.0.  It would be worth upgrading to see if the issue has been fixed.

 msgbox("Some message for the user.", "Fancy Caption")


When the dialog box is displayed the title does not appear.  However, it does appear in the icon on the taskbar.
