Hello,
I'm using R 2.0.0 with the latest Rcmdr package installed from CRAN, on
Windows XP Professional.
When trying to copy some commands or results, either from the upper or lower
text window, this causes Rcmdr to crash:
"R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to
close"
Did anyone have the same problem? I don't think it's my system, as it
happened to reinstall my Windows just a few days ago, and the same problem
occurred in the former one.
Regards,
Adrian

Dear Adrian, I've just been able to verify this problem. It occurs for me when I try to copy via Ctrl-C, but not when I use the Rcmdr Edit -> Copy menu, nor when I use the right-click context menu. As near as I can tell, the problem is general to all Ctrl-key combinations. I don't have time at the moment to investigate further, but I suspect a problem between tcltk and Rgui. I'm copying this response to the r-devel list, since that might be a better place to pursue the problem. Sorry for the trouble.

problem with tcltk under Windows (was [Rd] RE: [R] one more Rcmdr problem)
Dear Adrian, As I suspected, this is not a problem specific to the Rcmdr but is rather a more general tcltk/Windows problem. The following works fine in R 1.9.1 (and before, I assume) but reliably crashes R 2.0.0 (including the latest Windows patched version on CRAN) under Windows XP Prof: library(tcltk) top <- tktoplevel() textwindow <- tktext(top, bg="white", height=10, width=40, wrap="none") tkgrid(textwindow) Then, with the cursor in the text windows, press any Ctrl-key combination to crash Rgui. I'm cc'ing R-windows@R-project.org. Regards, John On Wed, 13 Oct 2004 11:00:39 -0400 "John Fox" <jfox@mcmaster.ca> wrote:> Dear Adrian, > > I've just been able to verify this problem.

I did experience the same problem. After installing R 2.0.0 patched and downloading the source for Rcmdr_0.99-12 from John Fox's Web page http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/ and recompiling the package it now works. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-V, in the text boxes of Rcmdr now work.
