First of all, it "works for me"; I am running vanilla Maxima from the Linux command line.
I am guessing that the problem occurs when running Maxima in a graphical environment, probably wxMaxima.
A CPU-intensive loop for timing is not a solution. It will likely work (or fail) differently on different systems. In any case, I am inclined to close this as not a Maxima bug but a front-end bug, since it works fine in text mode for me; however, I think I'll wait just in case others can repro the problem in text mode.

tensor.dem loads tendemo.mac. The printing of the selectable options causes the read selection not to work. It is like the read is executed before the printing. is done. There are three positions in this file where the read selction does not work without the delay.
I got it to work if I run a for loop to delay the read selection unil after the printing is done. Example is here in tendemo.mac. print("A. Algebraic tensor manipulation"), print("E. Complete examples"), print("X. Exit this demo"), print(""), / the following line is added so the read will work. / for a: 1 thru 26000 step 1 do a*a, sel:read("Select an option by its number followed by a semicolon (;)"), if sel=1 then demo(itensor1) else if sel=2 then demo(itensor2)
The modified file is attached.
