@Rik: Thanks, this will give us some time to think about this synchronous approach which doesn't really fix what it was meant to fix (bug #52225, bug #53328 among others), may lead to deadlocks and finally slows things down (see bug #55418).

I checked in a change that allows things to work (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a7ad08ed3cb7).  Ultimately, it would be better if creating Qt widgets synchronously would never result in a deadlock situation.

The fix will be part of the 5.2.0 bug fix release.

Confirmed.  I have the same problem on a Linux system so I've change the affected Operating System ot Any.  Marking as a regression.

Running the createcancelbtn demo of the waitbar.m file (line 269-317) on windows 7 Octave version 5.1.0 results in octave not responing with a blank waitbar window.
