R devel - Dec 2009 - R GUI editor window - help field does not return the help topic (PR#14146)

Full_Name: Yan Alperovych
Version: R 2.10.1, GUI 1.31
OS: Mac OS 10.6.2
Submission from: (NULL) (139.165.27.244)


Hello everyone, 

I am not sure if I am at the right place to put this question, so don't
hesitate
to redirect me to the correct mailing list. My question is about the editor
window under the R GUI on Mac OS 10.6.2. Before the upgrade to R 2.10.1 with GUI
1.31, I was able to call for the help topics from the spotlight-like help field
in the upper right corner of the editor window. Now it only returns me a blank
box, which still slides as before, but the help content is missing. Is this a
frequent problem or is it related to my specific computer? And if it's a
general
issue, is there some solution please?

Thank you for the replies or possible indications on where can I find more
hints.

Please read the posting guide before submitting bug reports, especially if you
don't even know that it's the proper way!

I cannot reproduce the problem, so please supply the details as we kindly ask
you to - at the very least sessionInfo()... Also the proper place for
Mac-related questions is R-SIG-Mac (see "About R" in the GUI).

Thanks,
Simon

Great, thanks - I can reproduce it now. Fixed in r5539 (you can try
tonight's build tomorrow).

Thanks,

My question is about the editor window under the R GUI on Mac OS 10.6.2. Before
the upgrade to R 2.10.1 with GUI 1.31, I was able to call for the help topics
from the spotlight-like help field in the upper right corner of the editor. Now
it only returns me a blank box, which still slides as before, but the help topic
is missing. Is this a frequent problem or is it related to my specific computer?
And if it's a general issue, is there some solution please?
