Hi there,
I am not a skilled Emacs user. I mainly use Emacs as a front end for
Maxima with the help of imaxima. imaxima converts Maxima output into
PNG image, which are then displayed in Emacs. I am using Windows 10.
It works fine on Emacs 28.2, when I type an _expression_, e.g. q^2
= 1; and return, Emacs 28.2 immediately displays the resulting PNG
image.
If I use Emacs 29.1, however, all I get after returning is an empty
square. And if I type another _expression_ and return, a blank square
appears. At the same time, the first empty square was replaced by a
PNG image of the first _expression_. That's weird.
I saw the following messages in the *Messages*
buffer:
Processing Maxima output...done
Unable to load image (image :type png :file
c:/Users/Jinso/AppData/Local/Temp/imaximatU5Y9B/1 :scale
1.001595744680851 :ascent center :mask (heuristic (color-values
imaxima-bg-color)) :transform-smoothing t) [35 times]
Process imaxima finished
After (setq w32-use-native-image-API nil), imaxima has the same
behaviour on Emacs 28.2 and 29.1.
