Try to use gnuplot as graphics engine instead of the fltk default by
starting octave and before ploting any figure type in the cmd window:

graphics_toolkit gnuplot

You can also try to use the following command-line flags to start octave: -i --line-editing

These flags use to solve a similar problem under Windows 8.
