Mac Mojave using wxmaxima from homebrew 19.8.0 (actually my own compile of 19.8.1 at the moment)
This one really confused me: straight quotes in my maxima-init.mac were being turned into smart quotes, causing maxima to fail to launch, and wxmaxima to get stuck on the first cell calculation.
Just now I saw the new Preferences > Startup Configuration, where the bottom text field in the wxMaxima config has the commands from my maxima-init.mac, but has changed the quotes to left and right quotes. and when I try to edit them to straight quotes, they immediately change back again. "Smart quotes" should clearly not be applied to the maxima-init.mac file...
In theory I had turned off MacOs's smart substitutions it comes with by default. But there is a second way to turn them off => The next release will be with the other way that is used in all of the wizards.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I just discovered the same problem, using wxMaxima 19.12.1, installed with homebrew.
