Details:

Octave 4.2.1 on my Windows 10 system crashes when I [snap](
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/snap-a-truly-slick-feature-in-windows-10)
its window to the right side of the second monitor which is on the right of
the main monitor.  Snapping to the left side on the main monitor works fine.

It crashes with the following error:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFDF097775F (ntdll.dll) in octave-gui.exe:
0xC0000374: A heap has been corrupted (parameters: 0x00007FFDF09D86B0).

Once, snapping the window to the right worked.  I then exited Octave GUI when
paused in debugging.  After that I could not reopen Octave GUI without it
crashing.

I was able to work around it and get Octave GUI running again on my system by
deleting two of Octave's temp files (username was my user name): 
C:\Users\username\.config\octave\qt-settings 
C:\Users\username\.config\4.2.1\qsci\octave_kbf.pap.

This issue is similar to bug #41953: GUI Crash on Startup.
