the "Add command layer" option is mostly unusable on Wingrass since you
can't see what you're typing, and becomes oddly placed to the right of the
other layer's preferences button on all platforms after you add a regular
map layer.
see attached screenshots.
also I notice if I add a "--ui" or "--help" term to the command layer they
silently get stripped off instead of acting as expected; and if I add a
non-image creating module command is used there (like r.mapcalc) it seems
to be ignored, limiting the kind of imaginative light scripting you can do
with it.
finally, if you press the Del key while editing text in that line, it
deletes they layer line and everything you just carefully typed in.
* priority: major => normal
* milestone: 6.4.3 => 6.4.4

see #1239, I thought I had fixed the first point already, the second one
cannot be fixed easily

what is 'acting as expected'?

I am not going to fix any of these issues now for 6.4.3.
