Comment (by MSoegtropIMC):

 The issue with the preferences dialog has to do with the contents of the
 preferences file. Unfortunately I lost the offending one. I started
 wxMaxima in a debugger, where I then stepped over the assertion and closed
 the program, so that a new settings file was written. After that the issue
 was no longer reproducible. I also tried a few older settings files I
 saved, but without success.

 I see that the settings file stores the settings tab last opened. Maybe a
 tab name changed and then things go wild? Anyway: more validation of the
 preferences file should fix this.

 This is btw. about "/Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/wxMaxima
 Preferences". If you have users who can reproduce this, please ask them to
 send you this file.

 I also tried to install the old 21.02 wxMaxima and create a new prefeences
 file, but this also did not help to reproduce the issue.
