Octave console buffering output

Question

I am having trouble debugging because Octave (I am using 4.0.0) is not displaying output to the console immediately. I see output from the disp command only after long running commands located after the disp command finish executing.

Usually this some kind of line buffering problem. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround?

I have all of the gui stuff switched off; I am running octave like so:

octave -q --no-gui --norc

I found the answer. There are various options for paging, but more off was sufficient for me.
