Something has changed in the past weeks (not sure for how long) and I have not figured out what exactly.

Probably it is me doing something differently while editing an input line. Below is an example where the name data is not italic any more

Anybody else experiencing the same?

My interface seetings:

From time to time Maple output containts brackets that are nor needed. Example:

int(f(x),x=a..c)-int(f(x),x=a..b);
simplify(%) assuming c>b

Why is that? Is there a way not to have these brackets printed?

eqs := [a = b, c = d, e = f]:

map(`+`, eqs, 2);
map(`-`, eqs, 2);
map(`/`, eqs, 2);
         [a + 2 = b + 2, c + 2 = d + 2, e + 2 = f + 2]

         [a - 2 = b - 2, c - 2 = d - 2, e - 2 = f - 2]

               [1     1    1     1    1     1  ]
               [- a = - b, - c = - d, - e = - f]
               [2     2    2     2    2     2  ]

These work differently

map(`*`, eqs, 2);
map(`^`, eqs, 2);
               [2 (a = b), 2 (c = d), 2 (e = f)]

Error, non-algebraic base in a power: a = b

(The first one can be dealt with by applying eval to the output)

Why do not all work the same way?

Edit:
Generic work arounds where arithop is one of: + - / * ^

map(eval@`arithop`, eqs, 2);
map(map@`arithop`, eqs, 2);# Update: Maple 2021 and higher
[seq(i arithop 2, i in eqs)];

I experience Maple 2024 not beeing responsive.

It happens often that nothing is happening for 10 to 15 seconds after placing the cursor in an input line.

When the cursor is back, typing is normal for a little while and then again Maple is not reacting to user input.

The worksheets I am working with are between 50 and 100 Mb large in file size (containing plot3d structures, approx 1000 frames distributed across several plots:-display statements). It looks to me that the GUI has to do some house keeping from time to time which keeps it buisy with all the plot structures.

I could delete (plot) output, but this would require execution of the worksheet (before deleting the output) each time I want to continue working normally. This takes several minutes to be ready to work.

Anything else that I can do?

In the attachment are three plotting issues that might be (partially) related.
