Details:

Steps to reproduce (fairly reliable):

1. Open a GUI

2. Inside the GUI, drag the Documentation pane into a separate position (not
tabbed with any other pane) to the right of the Terminal pane (in any other
position the bug seems less reliable)

3. Move the Documentation pane back to the left onto the Terminal pane to get
it into tabbed position
(The Documentation pane can also be moved onto Workspace or File browser
pane.)

=> result: the pane on which the Doc pane was moved remains blue for a long
time, Octave is unresponsive, Octave's main menu Minimize button doesn't work
(Octave minimizes momentarily but flashes back to previous size), after a
while Octave disappears from sight = crash.

When running "./run-octave --force-gui" the terminal from which is was run
mentions:
Segmentation fault - core dumped. but I don't see a core dump

Mageia 6 64bit, KDE/Plasma
