Comment (by mojca@…):

 I think I can reproduce it now, but only on a foreign keyboard where alt-
 gr (left alt key, not sure how it's called in the apple world) is needed
 to access the key. It works ok on the US or Dvorak keyboard where it's
 accessible with {{{shift+6}}}. If I try {{{alt-gr+I}}} on that particular
 foreign keyboard, I get the text magnified instead of the desired
 character. In other (including native) software this is a combining
 character (if followed by a character that doesn't make sense, it
 generated {{{^}}}, else it generates a letter like âêîôû...). In wxWidgets
 the key seems to behave like a normal {{{alt}}} and that seems to be a
 problem. It's also possible that wxMaxima doesn't initialize something
 properly, but that's hard to say. I suggest filing an upstream bug report.
