This is not a bug in Octave.  Versions of Octave that run on Windows
with Cygwin usually run in a Cygwin terminal window (unless you've set
it up to start in some other kind of terminal window, like rxvt).  So
I think something like the advice here:

  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-01/msg00347.html

or here

  http://www.gigascale.org/softdevel/faq/24.html

will probably help you.  If not, then do a google search for the terms
copy paste cygwin...
