Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45943 (project octave):

Also, small comment on whether this is a bug vs a feature request; the
documentation for the figure function in octave reads as follows:

If called with an integer N, and no such numbered figure exists,
then a new figure with the specified number is created. If the
figure already exists then *it is made visible* and becomes the
current figure for plotting.

(emphasis mine)

So, according to the documentation the intended behaviour of the function when
called on existing figures is to make it *visible*, as well as make it the
current figure for plotting.
I would say this makes this a bug rather than a feature request.
