[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61299] Command window freezes after console crash with non-English keyboard layout

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #61299 (project octave):

Is this a combining/composing key? What might be happening is that a combined
character is created that isn't supported. Or a combining character without a
valid character to which it can be combined is sent to the conhost which
causes it to crash...

Maybe the sequence that causes the crash is: "¨", "Alt Gr"+"]" ?
Or: "Alt Gr"+"]", "¨", "Alt Gr"+"]" ?

I'm not sure why uninstalling and re-installing the keyboard layout makes a
difference. Or is it a slightly different keyboard layout that is being
re-installed?

I hope all of these issues will disappear when/if we change a cross-platform
Qt widget for the command window...
