fwd: [ 690055 ] can not mark for eval in lower window in maxima



Hi, does anybody know how to make the "mark for eval" feature of XMaxima work?

After selecting "Maxima" from the list of programs on the "Edit" button
on the middle bar in XMaxima, I can highlight some text and select
"mark for eval" from "Edit", and a "RESULT" box is displayed.
But when I double-click on the selected expression, I get an error message,
"wrong # args".

Double-clicking on predefined expressions sucessfully causes the result
to be displayed.

I was looking at this old bug report ...

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=690055&group_id=4933&atid=104933

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work?

best
