--------------------------------------------------------------Issue/Bug
Description:
After creating a plot with a large quantity of data, interacting with the plot
window results in either the entire GUI of the system being rendered unusable
(mouse pointer can be moved but can't interact with any applications via mouse
or keyboard), or a 'force quit' dialog being displaced and Octave crashing, or
both (a force quit dialog is displayed but can't be interacted with)

Other users are seeing this behavior as well -

--------------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:

Launch Octave 7.2.0 on my computer (details to follow)
Run attached code: 'diagram.m'
Run script
In the plot window that opens, attempt to use the zoom in/zoom out/fit
zoom/add text buttons

Notes: error does not occur if you use: graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")

I believe the issue is connected to the AMD processor/GPU on my computer. I
installed the same OS inside a Gnome Boxes VM on the  
same computer and the error did not occur. The VM does not allow hardware
video acceleration.
