Maybe a terminal emulation problem on windows.
If you have the zenity package available in your octave on windows (I
cannot check right now if it is available for windows), you can have a
graphical progress bar

pb = zenity_progress("Progress", "auto-close");
for i=1:30;
zenity_progress(pb, 100*i/30);
pause(0.2)
end

(you probably need 'pkg load zenity' if it is not autoloaded).
