octave gui : typing text in command window is not visible
Hi I am student and I heard about octave gui
I used the command octave --force-gui when I had version 3.8
and while typing in command window I was not able to see the text.
Cursor was there but no text is to be seen.
I thought this could be a problem with the Ubuntu theme, but I tried different themes and still no luck. I opened configuration pop up and made any kind of setting but still no luck.
Yesterday I download the last octave release (octave 4.0) and thought the problem will no more occur, but unfortunately same problem remains.
I have the feeling it is not a octave problem but a Ubuntu 14.04 problem because octave gui works well in windows OS (I tested it).

I cannot reproduce this behavior: is the command window functional in spite of the invisible text e.g. if you enter and execute a command (such asversion) does it subsequently appear in the command history window?

Do you have proper permissions? It was not working properly when I started octave as root user but worked just fine when started through single user mode.

I had the same exact problem on with Octave 3.8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04
This saved me:
sudo apt-get install octave-strings
Thank you to steeldriver who mentioned octave-strings in this question!
