In case anyone else tries to google this (like I did) - this crash appears to only happen if you've got display scaling on.

Additionally, if you pop a window loose while display scaling is off, and then turn display scaling back on, Octave seems to be able to rearrange the windows correctly.  The crash doesn't seem to recur until you reset to the default window arrangement.

I'm using the KDE spin of F41.

I cannot reproduce it (on Fedora 41 with Fedora's octave).

In any case, since you are using a vendor (Fedora) provided binary, you should complain/fill the bug report with the vendor.
(https://bugzi ... a.redhat.com/)

I have also noticed that Fedora builds octave against Qt5 while the currently preferred option is Qt6.

Have Octave 9.2.0 installed on newly installed Fedora 41 system.
When attempting to re-arrange windows (editor / command window, etc.) by drag and drop, Octave immediately crashes with notification "We're sorry, it looks like “octave-gui” crashed. ".
Any fix for this?
(NB: I note there is a version 9.3.0, but can't find a Fedora install for this.)
