[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41828] Command Window display hangs when options for less, forward, quit appear

[marco atzeri]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #41828 (project octave):

I noted the same defect on cygwin when running directly 
  octave-gui 
while using 
  octave --force-gui
shows no issue.

Running octave-gui directly causes the input of less
to be taken from the progenitor of octave-gui, usually 
a shell in xterm, and not from the octave-gui window.


NOT WORKING
$ pstree -A
?-+-XWin---<defunct>
  |-sh---xterm---bash---pstree
  `-xterm---bash---octave-gui

WORKING
$ pstree -A
?-+-XWin---<defunct>
  |-sh---xterm---bash---pstree
  `-xterm---bash---octave-3.8.1---octave-gui
