As soon as I introduced Mac OS X Lion, I experienced the same bug.I fixed
it locally, but forgot to push it to the git. (I noticed this mistake by
carefully looking at 5.26.0).
Today I committed the changes to the git so that next maxima release will
come with imaxima with the fix.
Thanks and best regards,
