I observe this behavior since release candidate 2.

I do not regard it as very user friendly, if the following happens:

? plot2d;  choose all;  --> nearly 150 lines of text come down 

now, if you are used to navigate with keys, you want to use 
[page up] repeatedly to get the first info line. but [page up] stops after using it once. no more 
key navigation, only mouse scrolling is possible then.

I fear, to Maxima newbies it may not be very attractive, if these basic functionalities aren't 
given.
