R devel - Oct 2007 - File-Choose directory-Choose a folder (PR#9959)

Full_Name: Roberto Passera
Version: 2.6.0 and 2.6.0 patched
OS: Windows Vista Premium
Submission from: (NULL) (151.48.70.219)


Using R 2.6.0 and 2.6.0 patched Italian version on Windows Vista systems, when
selecting File-Choose directory, the sub-command Choose a folder doesn't go,
being stopped to Desktop option.

As I've noted on the website, this appears to be a Vista bug as the 
Microsoft example code also fails.

Note: choose.dir() works in Rterm but not in Rgui.
