Comment (by kingcrimson@…):

 Hi Sebastian,

 > The GUI is

 process to the background,

 How are you starting the GUI?
 If you are invoking octave-gui directly this is expected,
 you should "octave --force-gui" instead.

 > 2) it is crashing e.g. when opening the preferences,

 To work around this crash you can apply the patches I attached to this
 thread in the Octave tracker:
 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=40545

 If you like I can send you an adapted portfile via mail.

 > 3) it flashes 3 times at startup.

 I see the same behaviour.
