Running TeXmacs 1:1.0.6.10-1 and Maxima 5.12.0-1 on a Debian unstable
machine with a Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8216.

When using the Maxima menu item like Simplify or Factor under
Maxima->Simplify the result is to change the Maxima input line into an
input script-status instead of just an input so the command does not
run. Is this a bug (it did not do this in earlier versions) or am I
missing something?

Another issue is when I copy a mathematical formula from one document to
another. It is pasted incorrectly into the new document. Within one
document and within a second document inside one TeXmacs session, copy
and paste is fine but not from document in one session to a document in
another session (not sure if what I intend is clear enough).

The attached file has example of both problems.

Thanks for any help, Bob

<TeXmacs|1.0.6.10>

<style|<tuple|generic|maxima>>

<\body>
First type in an expand example, everything works fine:\

<with|prog-language|maxima|prog-session|default|<\session>
<\input|<with|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%i>1)
<with|color|black|>>>
expand((x+2)^2)
</input>

<\output>

<with|mode|math|math-display|true|<with|mode|text|font-family|tt|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%o1>)
<with|color|black|>>x<rsup|2>+4*x+4>
</output>

<\input|<with|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%i>2)
<with|color|black|>>>
\;
</input>
</session>>

When you click on the input line 1 after the first ( you see:

<\quote-env>
maxima default session input (
</quote-env>

on the right side of the bottom the window bar.

Now type in the function but then highlight the function and use the
Maxima-\<gtr\>Simplification-\<gtr\>Expand menu item. Now the command no
longer works, because of the mode created?

<with|prog-language|maxima|prog-session|default|<\session>
<\input|<with|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%i>2)
<with|color|black|>>>
<script-status|expand((x+2)^2)>
</input>

<\output>

<with|mode|math|math-display|true|<with|mode|text|font-family|tt|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%o2>)
<with|color|black|>>0>
</output>

<\input|<with|color|red|(<with|math-font-family|rm|%i>3)
<with|color|black|>>>
\;
</input>
</session>>

When you click on the input line 2 after the first ( you see:

<\quote-env>
maxima default session input script-status (
</quote-env>

on the right side of the bottom the window bar.

Copy paste issue from another documentTexmacs session copy
<math|(x+2)<rsup|2>> and paste it into this document and I get
<math|(x+2)^2> . If you change it to a source view you can strill see the
math formula.
