[Rd] Multiple macintosh() graphics devices (PR#1318)
Full_Name: David Orme Version: 1.4.0 OS: Mac OS 9.1 Submission from: (NULL) (155.198.17.121) R crashes (politely and without further repercussions) with a type 3 error under the following conditions: Open more than one macintosh() graphics device:> macintosh() > macintosh()and hence there are two devices...> dev.list()Macintosh Macintosh 2 3 ..with device 3 active. Selecting device 2 with the mouse brings that device window to the front but does not make it active - although the device name in the window title bar flickers briefly to active and then back to inactive. Closing the inactive device (2) by mouse clicking on the close box causes the crash - I've replicated this six or seven times successively on my G3. Using dev.off(2) behaves as expected. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

(I'm actually on OSX and rel 1.4.1 of R but) it is normal that an inactive window is not activated by mouse clicking. Mouse clicking put only the windows in front of the others (and it is activated as a window but not as a device). To activate the "device" linked to a window you can use the menus, for example, once you have put the window in front. I'll investigate what is happening under OS 9.1 because under OSX I cannot reproduce the problem. thanks for spotting this. stefano On Mercoledì, febbraio 20, 2002, at 04:41 , d.orme@ic.ac.uk wrote:> Full_Name: David Orme > Version: 1.4.0 > OS: Mac OS 9.1 > Submission from: (NULL) (155.198.17.121) > > > R crashes (politely and without further repercussions) with a type 3 > error > under the following conditions: > > Open more than one macintosh() graphics device: >> macintosh() >> macintosh() > > and hence there are two devices... >> dev.list() > Macintosh Macintosh > 2 3 > ..with device 3 active. > > Selecting device 2 with the mouse brings that device window to the > front but > does not make it active - although the device name in the window title > bar > flickers briefly to active and then back to inactive.

It has been fixed in R-devel now. Thanks David.
