Update of bug #64908 (project octave):

              Item Group:        Incorrect Result => Matlab Compatibility   
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any

Follow-up Comment #4:

It seems that Matlab's pause() implements two different input streams instead
of drawing the key press character from the standard input stream where the
pasted characters are being read? Not sure how to implement that. Does
getchar() know the difference between an input stream and a keyboard? Pretty
sure getch() is not portable.

It seems that the C++ standard abstracts it to streams and there's no specific
way to define a keyboard, hence no portable way to wait for a key press.
Guessing Matlab does this with system("PAUSE") or equivalent?
