In wxMaxima (0.8.2 met Maxima 5.18.1) the immediate combination of the instructions "lst::[a,b];:lisp $lst;" causes weird behavior of the program, whereby it becomes impossible to input new instructions at the prompt en sometimes there is an error message to. By immediate combination I mean, that we do not wait for the output of the first instruction before evaluating the second one. If we let the first instruction produce its output en the input the second one, then it works just fine.

Copy of a comment by the submitter:
The problem in the forementioned bug report ID: 2779431 was with
"lst:[a,b];:lisp $lst;" and not with "lst::[a,b];:lisp $lst;" as I
erroneously wrote. I am sorry.
Closing this report as won't-fix since the probably appears to be in wxMaxima.
