Thanks for identifying the bug with the canvas variable handling in the Maxima plot region. I appreciate the detailed report and screenshots. It seems that switching from ‘Terms’ to ‘Entry’ fixed the stack-empty error, but the remaining number-format issues under optimization ‘none’ still make the plotting behaviour inconsistent. Could you clarify whether the number formatting bug occurs only when optimization is disabled, or also under other optimization modes?

Also: would it be possible to attach a minimal reproducible .sm file that triggers the issue so the team can isolate it more easily? Looking forward to the fix—this feature is important for users doing symbolic/numeric hybrid workflows. brick breaker

empty stack issues fixed by switch from Terms to Entry.

Yet number format issues remain to be fixed.. This is visible only with optimization "none". with opt numeric display is correct.

Strange things happen. In a new region you can switch on redirection, but soon you get an error message (empty stack) at the region placeholder. You can still use the region, it reacts to mouse actions, yet the red boundary and the error message won't go.

Perhaps mouse redirection should be removed.
