Maxima response inserts spurious * char

Dear all, I posted this concern once previously, under the “General” tag. Hoping for a solution by posting in thsi specific “Plugins” category.

The output received back from maxima as math appears to insert multiple * characters. Not specific to TeXmacs version but specific to Windows . I use TeXmacs 2.1.4. Here is an example of what I mean:

Take image , press Ctrl-Enter to evaluate, and we get back image, which looks fine but it is fact not “2*x+1” but instead it is returned as image . This means I can no longer use that response again in Maxima without further manual editing!

Much appreciate any suggestions for a fix. Thanks.

Kind regards,
