view menu disappears atop a wxmaxima session. so no way to know what file you are working on anymore and impossible to get help other than the f1 help which is only wxmaxima and NOT maxima etc. If i press alt-v then view should come up but all it does is put a 'v' in a new input code cell. The only ;thing left atop is the little pictures. The top line with the wxMaxima .... that is whatever version) and the particular filename you are working on is gone and so is the 2nd line that reads: File Edit View Cell Maxima .....................Help. All those are GONE and no way to get them back so all u can do is have to start all over again.

That version is very old. Can you update to a more recent version?

That looks like a bug in wxidgets to me, as wxMaxima never touches the view menu and never disable the toolbar without reason. As no-one has reported that one yet we perhaps need to find the trigger for the problem before we can solve it, though.

Just for interest: Would it be possible for you to post us a screenshot?

And the idea from @daute is good: We tend to update wxWidgets shortly after every wxWidgets release. Perhaps this problem has been resolved in the meantime by doing so...

Kind regards,
