Details:

Here is a tiny script that shows the behavior I mean:


h=waitbar(0.5);
plot(1:10);


In Octave the plot command reuses the open figure window of waitbar and
squeezes a distorted plot into it.

In Matlab the plot command opens a new window, regardless of the open and
active waitbar window.

This is a disturbing behavior of Octave, because even the usual "close"
command in front of the plot command does not get rid of the waitbar window
(neither in Matlab nor in Octave):


h=waitbar(0.5);
close all;
plot(1:10);


In Matlab this isn't a problem, because its plot command  (even without the
leading close command) reopens its own figure window.
