[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56795] Octave GUI opens and immediately closes

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #56795 (project octave):

Hi Philip, 
    To your questions, the GUI window just opens and after about one second
closes again.  And I've tried it many times with the same results -- even
re-installed JRE / Octave, to see if some updates would have helped. 

On the bright side, I lucked out and found that the issue seems to have to do
with the monitor resolution. 
If instead of opening the window on my secondary 30" monitor, I open it on the
small notebook screen, there is no problem. 
Also, I can then move the windows over manually, just for some reason the
window cannot open directly on the large screen. 

Thanks,
Kaywan

Professional (home) & -Enterprise (at work), rarely on Win10.
