[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59495] Entering certain glyphs might leave the GUI command window irresponsive

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #59495 (project octave):

possibly related, another discourse conversation mentioned being able to
repeatably  cause octave gui to crash by pasting certain glyphs:
https://octave.discourse.group/t/start-release-process-for-octave-6-4-0/1652/44

and it was recenently mentioned as a side note in bug #61461, comment#2: "The
GUI is quite vulnerable against pasting test into the command window, copying
test into it can crash Octave.
Since I work with Octave 6.4 for MS Windows I observed at least 10 crashes."

Is this the same bug? thoughts on why the result escalated from 'freeze' to
'crash' in recent versions of Octave?  or is this something new?
