Follow-up Comment #8, bug #41423 (project octave):

Hi,

I see the same in Octave 3.8.0 in Ubuntu 13.10, i.e. if I move the focus from
a different application I cannot type in the
Octave command prompt window anymore.

In addition, the focus is lost also if I click on a figure
plotted with FLTK.

I can get back the focus to the Octave command prompt in the gui
if I either:

- Click on the editor or documentation tab and then on the command prompt

- Click on the Octave icon in the launcher

c.

This is exactly what I reported in  bug #40823 

and I got around it by running as ROOT.
