Hi,
The Command "dpart", wich obviously calls the function "box",
drops surrounding parentheses, as the box operator
(which means "red color" in wxMaxima)
has precedence over other operators.
But this can lead to optically unpleasant outputs; eg.
dpart(a*(b+c)*d,2)
leads to the confusing output
a*c+b*d ("c+b" red colored - I know this has precedence, but it's
looking awfully).
I think, it would be nice to retain the parentheses around "c+b",
in the case above
a*(c+b)*d
