What you are describing sounds very familiar to me (and I think I have even posted something here, that I cannot find straight away). It is most likely not a bug but related to Windows (7 and 10) and your personal setup.

A few questions:

What happens if you wait (for me Maple sometimes started after a few minutes)?

Any recent changes on your computer or network configuration?

Does Maple start always from the start menu (i.e. without double click on a file)

It is super annoying and not reproducible. For me it disappeared as it appeared several times over the past 5 years. I remember that this effect was more pronounced after a fresh system start-up. Also changing/ connecting/disconnecting networks seemed toplay a role.

PS.:My biggest suspicion at the moment is Java in combination with Windows.

@ That's what I get

An example would be helpfull.

Maple uses the method exact to solve the ode. Slighty better results can be obtained this way

factor(ode);
%*denom(lhs(%));
dsolve(%)

This way the first 5 solutions can be identified as the roots of the first term encricled in red. The sixth solution (in yellow) is now what we would expect since a different method (separable) was applied

Your original sixth solution is implicit which can be made explicit this way

simplify(isolate(diff(sol[6],x),diff(y(x),x)));dsolve(%)

I can't tell why Maple returns an implicit solution

@nm 

Interesting design decision that seems to save memory space, as no power statements are required in arithmetic expressions.

dismantle(a^b);

POWER(3)
   NAME(4): a
   NAME(4): b

@jganding 

This makes it a bit more generic

expr :=1* Unit('h');
evalf(convert(expr, 'unit_free'))*indets(expr, specfunc(Units:-Unit))[];

Do you have an example?

@SwissMapleBeginner 

You are welcome. Assuming that dharrs solution is what you want, I have added an extact and generic solution, that you can apply to any event in a piecewise fashion. Event by event you can not only redefine the ICs but also the (temperature dependend?) parameters of the ODEs. (Assembling from piecewise solutions a piecewise function for plotting is the better way for plotting as compared to plots,display.)

An excellent initiative. It's a shotgun approach, but why not try it instead of developing an algorithm that tries to classify before selecting a method.
That will be complicated. As an alternative to classification and to increase speed, perhaps machine learning could be applied to a large dataset to create a method selector.

Test case where combine,trig is key

expr2 := (a^8*(r^10 - 10*m*r^9 + 5*(a^2 + 8*m^2)*r^8 - 80*m^3*r^7 + 10*(a^4 + 12*a^2*m^2 + 8*m^4)*r^6 + 4*(-15*a^4*m - 40*a^2*m^3 - 8*m^5)*r^5 + 10*(a^6 + 12*a^4*m^2 + 8*a^2*m^4)*r^4 + 40*(-a^6*m - 2*a^4*m^3)*r^3 + 5*(a^8 + 8*a^6*m^2)*r^2 - 10*a^8*m*r + a^10)*cos(theta)^8 - 28*(-(30*sin(theta)^2*a^4*m*r^5)/7 + r^10 - 10*m*r^9 + 5*(a^2 + 8*m^2)*r^8 + 40*(-a^2*m - 2*m^3)*r^7 + 10*(a^4 + 12*a^2*m^2 + 8*m^4)*r^6 + 32*(-5*a^2*m^3 - m^5)*r^5 + 10*(a^6 + 12*a^4*m^2 + 8*a^2*m^4)*r^4 + 40*(-a^6*m - 2*a^4*m^3)*r^3 + 5*(a^8 + 8*a^6*m^2)*r^2 - 10*a^8*m*r + a^10)*a^6*r^2*cos(theta)^6/3 + 14*(-(260*sin(theta)^2*a^6*m*r^3)/7 + r^10 - 10*m*r^9 + 5*(a^2 + 8*m^2)*r^8 + 40*(-a^2*m - 2*m^3)*r^7 + 10*(a^4 + 12*a^2*m^2 + 8*m^4)*r^6 + 4*(-15*a^4*m - 40*a^2*m^3 - 8*m^5)*r^5 + 10*(a^6 + 12*a^4*m^2 + 8*a^2*m^4)*r^4 - 80*a^4*m^3*r^3 + 5*(a^8 + 8*a^6*m^2)*r^2 - 10*a^8*m*r + a^10)*a^4*r^4*cos(theta)^4 - 4*a^2*(-10*a^8*m*r*sin(theta)^2 + r^10 - 10*m*r^9 + 5*(a^2 + 8*m^2)*r^8 + 40*(-a^2*m - 2*m^3)*r^7 + 10*(a^4 + 12*a^2*m^2 + 8*m^4)*r^6 + 4*(-15*a^4*m - 40*a^2*m^3 - 8*m^5)*r^5 + 10*(a^6 + 12*a^4*m^2 + 8*a^2*m^4)*r^4 + 40*(-a^6*m - 2*a^4*m^3)*r^3 + 5*(a^8 + 8*a^6*m^2)*r^2 + a^10)*r^6*cos(theta)^2 + r^8*(a^2 - 2*m*r + r^2)^5/9)*m^3*r/((r^2 + cos(theta)^2*a^2)^9*(a^2 - 2*m*r + r^2)^5)

I just tried to upload and insert contents to your earlier question (I used reply).

This worked.

I am now deleting the upload

@one man 

with Maple 2024 I get:

Error, invalid input: too many and/or wrong type of arguments passed to allvalues; first unused argument is Pi*(2*_Z1+1)

With this change

restart;
f := sin(x)/x:
allvalues({solve(f, x, allsolutions)}[1 .. 2])[];
                          

                    Pi (2 _Z1 + 1), 2 Pi _Z1

the output is still the same.

For _Z1=0 I still get Pi and 0. 0 is what I want to have removed form the solutions.

Found the anwser to Q1

SolveTools:-DisplaySolutions([%])

Still, n=0 should have been excluded from 2Pi*n

@janhardo 

MS word has a quite sophisticated format filter that can be used to find and replace fonts (and other formating features). Are you looking for something like this to edit maple files? 

I don't think that something like this exist. If you find this really usedfull I would send a software change request. Such a feature would be a logic extension of Maple's existing Find/Replace feature.

I could use a Format painter 

@janhardo 

In Maple terms a template is a user defined style set.

If you want to set a persistent font, you have to first create a new style and then create and save it to a user defined style set

The new style can be set as default for new document or applied to existing document (this is an alternative to method I have described above)

You can find more details on styles in the link I have provided.

@mmcdara 

For me it is also several dozens of seconds or nothing (-> abort and reload the page).

For me the upload of a worksheet was always fast but rendering a worksheet for inserting the contents takes time. Maybe the rendering process is executed with lower priority which could explain that it takes sometimes (at higher workloads of the Mapleprimes server?!?) more time.
