R devel - Apr 2001 - Win98 wheelmouse graphics lock problem (PR#906)

Full_Name: Christopher Paul
Version: Version 1.2.2  (2001-02-26)
OS: Win 98
Submission from: (NULL) (4.35.137.70)


Using the GUI, if I make a plot(), click on the graphics window and then use my
wheelmouse to attempt to move up and down the graphics image, the image fails to
redrawn properly, and then entire GUI session "hangs" and needs to be
closed.  I
wasn't aware how committed to the wheelmouse I had become, but even after
identifying the problem, I kept doing it.

I have no idea what the `wheelmouse' on your system is generating in the
way of events, or what you expected to happen.  An R graphics window does
not have vertical scrollbars by default.

Please debug this on your own system and submit a match.  The developers
neither use Win 98 nor a `wheelmouse', but the emulation on my Windows NT
system gives no problems.
