If you're really interested in having this work on OpenBSD I suggest you 
file bug reports with upstream.

To be honest I'm tempted to just mark wxMaxima BROKEN again.

I suspect these are wxMaxima issues and not wxWidgets problems.

As I said before, wxMaxima updates fix some things and break other things.

After checking, the bug was introduced in 24.02.2. The good news is that 
this was a relatively small release and only included 3 changes according 
to NEWS.md:

- Set maxima's LANG variable, not wxMaxima's LANG (#1897)
- Sped up the communication between maxima and wxMaxima
- Sometimes newlines in misc text from maxima got lost (#1894)

Can you please bisect which of these broke wxMaxima and report it 
upstream?
