This bug has likely already been fixed due to similar reports. Please try out the latest version 7.2.0, or the upcoming 7.3.0. Closing as fixed for now. If the problem persists in newer Octave versions, please comment here and this bug can be reopened.

Thank you for the report.  Does this crash also happen in Octave 6.3.0 if you have the time to upgrade your installation?

In the Octave 6.3.0 release notes

https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/news/release/2021/07/11/octave-6.3.0-released.html

there are several fixed GUI crashes.  Maybe the triggered crash was among them? 🤔

Sequence:

In the command window, launch a lengthy computation function or script ( several minutes )
While the command executes, edit the source files
Save the edited files ( Octave accepts the file save commands but does not write to file while the commands are running )
Abort the command line interpreter (Ctrl-C)

Outcome :
Octave exits and edit session is lost.
