R help - Sep 2012 - ctrl+r does not work sometimes

Dear All,

This might be a tiny question but I do not know the reason. On my desktop,
sometimes when I use the mouse or ctrl+A select a piece of R script, and
use ctrl+R to run it,
there is no action. If I redo it, it may work.
On my laptop, it is fine. Both are running windows 7.

Best wishes,
Jie

I can confirm that I have this problem occasionally as well (windows 7
laptop), I see it more often when clicking the button in the GUI that
does the same as ctrl-R.

Here is my sessionInfo:

It sounds as though there's a bug somewhere, but without a reproducible 
example, I doubt if it will be pursued.  So the next step is to pay 
close attention to what you did just before this failure, with a goal of 
developing instructions that cause it to happen every time (or a high 
proportion of times).  If you can tell me how to reliably reproduce the 
problem, I can probably track it down and fix it, but without those, I 
won't try.
