Follow-up Comment #5:

With 5.1.1 (on Windows 7), just copying the code into the terminal:

GNU Octave, version 5.1.1
:
>> x=0:.5:10;
>> y1=sin(x)
y1 =
 Columns 1 through 9:
   0.00000   0.47943   0.84147   0.99749   0.90930   0.59847   0.14112 
-0.35078  -0.75680
 Columns 10 through 18:
  -0.97753  -0.95892  -0.70554  -0.27942   0.21512   0.65699   0.93800

 Columns 19 through 21:
   0.41212  -0.07515  -0.54402

>> pause;
>> 2=cos(x)
parse error:

  invalid constant left hand side of assignment

>>> 2=cos(x)
     ^
                                                                              
                   
>>


(It seems Octave "eats" the "y" in y2, pauses, and upon hitting <Enter>
reports a parse error.)

Copying the code into an empty editor tab, selecting it and running it
pressing F9 I can reproduce the bug.
