R devel - Mar 2019 - Bug in the "reformulate" function in stats package

Hi,

I have found a bug in reformulate function and have a solution for it. I 
was wondering, where I can submit it?

Best,

Saren

Well, you could have given a small reproducible example
depicting the bug, notably when posting here: 
Just a prose text with no R code or other technical content is
almost always not really appropriate fo the R-devel mailing list.

Further, in such a case you should google a bit and hopefully
have found
		https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html

which also mention reproducibility (and many more useful things).

Then it also tells you about R's bug repository, also called
"R's bugzilla" at https://bugs.r-project.org/

and if you are diligent (but here, I'd say bugzilla is
(configured?) far from ideal), you'd also find bug PR#17359

   https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17359

which was reported already on Nov 2017 .. and only fixed
yesterday (in the "cleanup old bugs" process that happens
often before the big new spring release of R).

So is your bug the same as that one?

Well, first I can't sign in bugzilla myself, that is why I wrote here 
first. Also, I don't know if I have the time at the moment to provide 
tests, multiple examples or more. If that is not ok or welcomed, that is 
fine, I can come back, whenever I have more time to properly report the bug.

I didn't find the existing bug report, sorry for that.

Yes, it is related. My problem was that I have column names with spaces 
and current solution doesn't solve it. I have a solution, which works 
for me and maybe also for others.

Either, someone can register me to bugzilla or I can post it here, which 
could give some direction to developers. I don't mind whichever is 
preferred here.

Best,

Saren
