Description Jack Hill 2022-08-12 12:16:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I try to enter a command, Cantor hangs


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Cantor through flatpak
2. Install maxima 
Mine is in installed to /usr/bin/maxima
3. Set path to maxima in Cantor (Settings -> Configure Cantor -> Maxima -> Executable)
Make sure you use the file chooser dialogue when searching for maxima. This means flatpak will copy the maxima exe to a directory accessible to Cantor.
4. Start a maxima session in Cantor
5. Try to enter a valid maxima command
I used `diff(x^2, x);`

OBSERVED RESULT
Cantor hangs
The console output is a never ending stream of quotation marks: ""
(the console used to execute `flatpak run org.kde.Cantor`; NOT the output from Cantor's "Session" tab) 

EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't hang
It should run the command and output "2 x"
