Running Windows 11

1) At start-up wxMaxima pups up this window (Pressing "Continue" causes wxMaxima to run)

2) when editing a line, e.g. the cursor always stays at the end of the line. By using the cursor keys, you can move the cursor and write/edit at that posisiton in the line, but you don't know where you are, because the visual cursor stays at the end of the line as shown on the above image.

Gaah! Something disagrees with wxString::Format() of a variable size, which happens on Windows and not on linux and windows doesn't tell which line it is in... ...will try to find out where. Thanks a lot for this bug report!

I guess I have already found how to address the 2nd issue, though; As I recently made a 800+ line change in order to get rid of warnings about potentially defective C code there is the possibility that there are other bugs, as well.

Super - do you know if there are problems with the Windows build? The latest build on https://wolfgang.dautermann.at/maxima/nightlybuild/ is 2023-09-12 22:33

I've asked Wolfgang and he made it work again. I even managed to start the new build in a virtual windows box. But I don't get that assert. I have no idea how that is possible. But it might indicate that the error has somehow resolved itself...

In the meantime I have changed loads of things that have to do with types of numbers. Let's hope this problem is resolved by now.
