R devel - Sep 2006 - R script editor fails to read script longer then 1000 chars (non-English language settings) (PR#9254)

Full_Name: Otto Shtirlitz
Version: 2.3.1
OS: Win XP SP2 
Submission from: (NULL) (71.102.102.246)


I believe it's the same situation as described in bug 9248. R script editor
cannot open file exceeding 1000 characters even if created in the same editor.
File is
all ANSI with symbols < 128 and with window line endings CR/LF (0x0D 0x0A).
The trick is the local settings : even if the OS is US if the language settings
for non-Unicode (Control Panel\Regional and Language options\Advanced\Language
for non-Unicode programs) is set to Russian in my case R only reads the first
1000 chars (and appends some garbage). If this setting is switched back to
English the problem goes away.

Yes, thank you.  The conditions are that you are running in a locale with 
a different encoding from the system codepage, when a limit in graphapp 
was hit (so although the script is read correctly, it was not displayed 
correctly).

Fixed for 2.4.0.
