Sorry the maple statement got cutoff. sorry. Here's the full command.

I apologize for late reply. I wanted to live with this pasting delay problem but recently it's getting on my nerve. Everytime i had to cut and paste it takes 5 second just for that. >PatrickT wrote: > >In my experience, copy-pasting uses up a lot of memory when plots are included >in the region being copy-pasted.

No I'm not pasting the output. Simply the command plot3d(with arguments) from last executed point to the next prompt. >acer wrote: > >I'm not sure if this is the same phenomenon as you are seeing, but the >Maple 12.xx Standard GUI has problems with delayed rendering in some Linux >distributions.

Is there any other way to solve this annoying problem? patch or any workaround? I'm having this problem for a while now. Any thoughts on this?

Maybe my last post wasn't clear enough. Sorry. When i paste  commands like
plot3d(with valid arguments) from the previous prompt line to the next line,
maple12_02 takes a long time to paste it. Is there a way to make this process
instantaneous? Anything(regarding this matter) needed to be done
differently? Any Ideas?
