Dear Nikos Apostolakis san,
This is my first time I used "maxima-minibuffer-on-foo" functions.
What I obtained is similar to what you obtained:
t^(-3)-3*t^(-2)+5*t^(-1)-7+10*t-10*t^(2)+10*t^(3)-8*t^(4)+5*t^(5)-3*t^
(6)+t^(7);
%, t = %e^(2*%i*%pi/6);
%^2;
expand(%);
ratsimp(%); /*==> (%o15) -3 <==*/
The output prompt is inserted to the result string, which seems to be
a bug.
I have filed this bug in my imaxima bug tracking database.
However, as you see in my case, there is no extra white space in the
result.
To know the cause of the differences, could you please inform me your
working
environment in detail?
Specifically I would like to know:
the version of Maxima you use, the version of Maxima you obtained the
maxima.el from, info on Emacs, operating system, and the lisp...
