Details:

After opening Octave 3.8.0 GUI with the command "octave3.8 --force-gui", 
cursor blinks in the command window and I am able to type text, commands, etc.


If I focus to a different program (e.g. Chromium) while octave is still
running, upon returning to Octave, I can not immediately type text into the
command line (even after clicking inside the Command Window multiple times and
trying to type text and hit Enter. To get around this bug, I need to switch
tabs within Octave GUI (e.g. Editor), then switch back to Command Window tab
to re-initiate text entry. 

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.

I also have Chromium and Skype open. Closing these programs does not correct
the issue.
