Is this an interface bug? Using RGUI for windows I run into a "Not Responding" process (I "smartly" coded an infinite loop, yaiks!), I hit esc and the interpreter was stopped and I recovered the console functionality but the caption on the R icon in my windows taskbar (the individual icon shown for every software currently running in the session) was not updated so the caption still reads "RGui (Not Responding)". This behavior is repeated everytime I run into a "Not responding" process. Off course if I end the session and open a new session the icon caption goes back to the normal "RGui". I am running R2.1.0 on Windows XP Pro V. 2002 SP2, Pentium M, 1.00 Gb Ram. Cheers Francisco
I don't think that's a bug. Almost every Windows application can do that: when it's busy with computation, you'll see the "not responding" message. Andy> From: Francisco J.

Dear Any Thanks for your response. Maybe I did not explain the behavior well. I am aware that the "Not Responding" is a windows default. What I was trying to explain is that once the process that generated the Not Responding is finished and I can use R for othe computations the "Not Responding" caption will remain in the task bar icon but not in the caption on the main Gui form. Please see the attached screen caption for an example. Regards Francisco>From: "Liaw, Andy" <andy_liaw at merck.com> >To: "'Francisco J.

Now I understand. I get the same thing in SDI mode (R-2.1.0 on WinXPPro). No idea why... Andy> From: Francisco J. Zagmutt > > Dear Any > > Thanks for your response.
