Dear Zach,

There is indeed something going wrong and it is for sure not a
satisfying experience with Octave.

To better understand the issue, can you tell us the following:

1. What is your operating system and version (e.g. MS Windows 10, macOS
Catalina, ...)?

2. Which version of Octave do you run (e.g. 5.1.0)?

3. How did you install that version of Octave?

4. Did you try to reinstall Octave and to delete your Octave user
settings folder (e.g. C:\Users\Zach\.config\octave)?

5. From which file location do you open your files (e.g. local
hard-disk, network drive, ...)?

HTH,
Kai
