Details:

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04
emacs 26.3 (the same behavior has been observed using emacs 28).

I want to run octave from emacs as an inferior process. 

When I ran emacs and typed

M-x run-octave

emacs opened a buffer called *Inferior octave*
with octave running.  (octave is invoked with the "-i" option.)

I then issued the octave plot command:
octave>plot(1:100)

The plot window appeared, but the pull-down menus, the buttons at the
bottom, and the close (x) button did not respond to mouse clicks.

The minimize button worked correctly.
The full-screen toggle button worked, but was buggy.
When I pushed the full-screen toggle button, the plot window did expand,
but the plot remained the same size and the menu bar and bottom buttons
were not displayed.
Manually changing the plot window size with the mouse resulted in the
same behavior.

The octave plot window exhibits the same behavior when octave is invoked from
a terminal using the "-i" option, e.g.
> octave -i
but it behaves correctly when invoked from the console without the "-i"
option:
> octave

correctly when octave is run from a
console instead of from emacs.
