I don't call it a duplicate since that bug says Windows specifically. Of
course this could still be a duplicate and actually have the same underlying
cause. That is however not something I would be able to determine myself. If
you think it is a duplicate, feel free to close as such.

Specific details of this for me:

- octave version 5.2.0 (installed on Ubuntu 18.04 following official
instructions, apparantly it installs as a snap package)

- the bug only happens when calling pause from the GUI (when I run 'pause'
from a session started from bash terminal then it seems to work fine).
