How do I stop octave plots hanging with line editing turned off?

I'm using Debian Jessie and GNU Octave, version 3.8.1

If I run octave with the --no-line-editing switch on, to avoid using readline

$ octave --no-line-editing

and execute this command,

>> t=0:1; plot(t);

then the plot window hangs. Without the line editing switch it's ok.

Does anyone know how to work around this, or how to report the bug?

This has already been reported as Debian Bug #675509 and Octave bug #37795 so you don't to report this bug again.

You can use gnuplot: just execute graphics_toolkit gnuplot before any plotting or add it to your .octaverc to get it eexecuted everytime you start octave.
