Save before quit

    Hello,
    I've had a recurrent problem with wxMaxima. I often save my projects, but I often accidently touch ctrl + q instead of ctrl + s (because s and q are together on an azerty keyboard), and wxMaxima do not ask before quit. So, I loose regularly some of my work (sometime 10min, sometimes more because when I open the file, it happens that it's became empty (how ? i don't know)).
    Do you know how to resolve this issue ?
    Thanks

      Sounds a bit like you are using a Mac... ...and an very old wxMaxima version. Is that correct?

    I use linux and windows, but linux more. And I just tested with my linux computer with wxMaxima 18.02.0, and the windows has closed without asking

      With a bit of Luck that is resolved in the current Nightly Build. What I did was:

      • Open wxMaxima
      • Type in some text
      • Press Ctrl+Q
        ...and wxMaxima asked me to save the file.

      Currently the nightly build gets the height of some big parenthesis wrong, though, as can for example be seen with:

      (1+exp(1/sin(a^2/(b+c/2))))^2;

    Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with the Nightly Builds. I noticed this problem at the beginning of November and posted about it on the 6th but with all the crashes etc it wasn't that big an issue. You can save a file within the first few minutes but later (I'm not exactly sure when but less than 10 minutes) wxMaxima does not ask if you want to save the file and just quits.
