(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little
response at the time.)

I'm able to reproduce this in Emacs 28...  but it turns out that I can
reproduce this on the command line as well by using the -i switch:

$ octave -i
...
octave:1> plot(1:100)
octave:2> 

will display the same symptoms.  So I don't think this is an Emacs
bug -- it has to be an Octave bug, and should be reported to the Octave
maintainers.

So I'm closing this bug in the Emacs bug tracker.
