Exactly what is described here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-bug-tracker/2014-01/msg00162.html Since Octave 3.8.0 introduced a GUI, new packages are surely required in order for it to work properly, and some of them seem to have been forgotten when the code was compiled. The thread mentions that the symptoms can be cured by compling Octave with QScintilla support. The current problem is that "Show Editor" can be toggled, without any editor appearing. Steps to reproduce: Start Octave with the GUI: "octave --force-gui". Try to access the built-in editor through "Window", "Show Editor"/"Editor". Nothing happens. |

octave will automatically build against libqscintilla and properly enable the editor.
In the meantime I created AUR/octave-gui.

I'll push an update during the weekend.
