I am not able to reproduce this either. This is what I tried

octave:1> x = 1:10;
octave:2> plot (x)
octave:3> graphics_toolkit fltk
octave:4> close all
octave:5> plot (x)
octave:6> plot (x.^2)
octave:7> close all
octave:8> plot (x)
octave:9> plot (x.^2)
octave:10> close all

Everything seems to work perfect. I am using octave 3.6.1-6 like the
OP. The problem could be some thing other than octave. Here is my
package list
