Can you please try with the version of octave currently in testing?
Since this was reported, Octave now uses Qt 5 and it's possible that
this bug only affects an older set of Qt and/or QScintilla libs.

I used to be able to trigger a similar bug by installing qt-at-spi and
setting the QT_ACCESSIBILITY environment variable. But as I understand
it the Qt 5 a11y support has been redesigned.

If octave still crashes for you, please provide your locale, keyboard
layout, and any input method settings.
