R devel - Feb 2005 - GUI File>Load workspace "bug" in Windows (PR#7710)

Full_Name: Bert Gunter
Version: 2.0.1
OS: Windows XP
Submission from: (NULL) (192.12.78.250)


Not sure this is a bug, but ..

When the working directory is changed via setwd() and then the  file>Load
workspace menu is immediately accessed, the working directory that is opened is
still the one set before the setwd() call. It only THEN resets the GUI to the
correct current working directory.

It does for me, *unless* you have used a Load item before in the session
when the comment in the README applies.  It was not Guido's intention that 
the Load items always start in a working directory as changed by setwd().
