--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In /emacs/29.0.60/lisp/progmodes/octave.el line 658:

(defcustom inferior-octave-startup-args '("-i" 
"--no-line-editing")
 "List of command line arguments for the inferior Octave process.
For example, for suppressing the startup message and using 
`traditional'
mode, include \"-q\" and \"--traditional\"."
 :type '(repeat string)
 :version "24.4")

should instead pass the argument --line-editing, so:

(defcustom inferior-octave-startup-args '("-i" "--line-editing")
 "List of command line arguments for the inferior Octave process.
For example, for suppressing the startup message and using 
`traditional'
mode, include \"-q\" and \"--traditional\"."
 :type '(repeat string)
 :version "24.4")


Failure to do so results in the user not being able to interact 
with
generated graphs and figures with the mouse or keyboard. Which is 
very
frustrating!

I failed to understand why --no-line-editing would interfere with
interaction with graphs. --no-line-editing is there because line editing
is provided for by emacs/comint.

Are those graphs written to disk (and shown in emacs), or displayed in a
(GUI) popup?

I noticed that the bug reporter wasn't copied into your reply, so I did
that here.
