Dear all,

I have been facing the same kind of plotting problems since I
installed Octave 4.2.4.
I am on a Win XP system.
I have got both a stand alone 4.2.4 version of octave for Win and the
same version running within cygwin.
In both cases I have got plotting problems :

Under cygwin, I encounter the same problem than previously described by Teju :

octave:1> figure(1);plot(randn(10));

octave:2>

Scarring!
On the stand alone 4.2.4 version for Windows I get something different :
If I do :
octave-3.2.4.exe:1> figure(1);plot(randn(10));
warning: isstr is obsolete and will be removed from a future version
of Octave, please use ischar instead
octave-3.2.4.exe:2>

I only get this warning message and nothing is displayed (no any plot
around even when checking with the task manager!).
Now, I call back the command line and run it again :
octave-3.2.4.exe:2> figure(1);plot(randn(10));
octave-3.2.4.exe:3>

This time, Figure 1 pops out and random lines are drawn.
Unfortunately, Figure 1 does not respond (Not Responding) and for
example I cannot zoom or do anything with it.
>From there, if I want to display something else on figure 2, I do:
octave-3.2.4.exe:3> figure(2);plot(randn(10));
octave-3.2.4.exe:4>

Nothing happens, but I get back the control on Figure 1! I can zoom and so on...
If I call again Figure 2 :
octave-3.2.4.exe:4> figure(2);plot(randn(10));
octave-3.2.4.exe:5>

I get a plot on Figure 2 but not its control (Not Responding).
I nevertheless keep the control on Figure 1.

Therefore I cannot use none of my Octave version 4.2.4 for plotting. I
went back to a 4.2.3 stand alone version that works well.
Any suggestion about this problem?
Many thanks in advance, B.
