for some reason it was maybe redefining t because the last output was also labled t but ofcourse i did not and i should not have used that for the t on the 2nd run since i wanted it to use the prior t but maxima did not do the obvious as i desired . So i relabled the prior first t to tz instead and then it seemed to work ok but took longer like .26 sec instead of .19 as it did the 1st time whereas obviously it should have taken a shorter time to execute the 2nd time rather than the 1st.

inconsistent behavior

ok now i see .wxmx has another parf like wxmaxima. A long time ago as i recall can make a plain .wxm file or something like that without the wxmaxima part. Is that possible or am i mistaken and/or cannot get any fancy output without also the wxmaxima part ?

but ok what you wrote may also be same display problem. Don't know why u say wxmaxima problem. i would assume maxima and wxmaxima are essentially part of the same and either problems with one or the other reported here in the same forum

NO you have not guessed what i am talking about. But a minimal example is instead integrate(f(t),t,0,qq)*y; where f(t) is unknown along with t and qq and y. I mean they have not been defined or bound . As you see y overwrites dt in the output display. NOw do you still say it is wxmaxima problem ?

i meant to have written y1(x).... in the title rather than y2(x),,,

why display overwrites the dt in y2(x)*integrate( ..,,t,0,x) with y1 or is it expected to ?

By that issue do you mean the thin line of unreadable looks like garbage or the edit configure of what to initially run every time when wxMaxima starts Maxima or Maxima commands to be executed every start of maxima both being frozen to edit ?
