R help - Apr 2015 - R crashes upon changing directories, loading files, etc.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue, repeatedly, which began today.  

Example code:

load(file.choose())  ##sometimes it crashes here/ endless spinner/ other times I
can get through.

or: i go up to options at the top to set wd, or select ?file? -> ?open? and
it will do the same thing.

I found a page where people were indicating they had this issue, but there was
no one responding with a fix.  see below:

bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14240


I am running :

R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) -- "Smooth Sidewalk"
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
On OS X 10.10

Any help/ direction is appreciated.

It seems this is not R but R.app (the separate project providing an OS X 
console: see the 'R Installation and Administration' manual).  If so, 
the only appropriate list is R-sig-Mac (see the posting guide).

Which is about Windows in 2010, and does have a response.

It might be noted, though, that this is not the first report from someone having
this sort of issue on Yosemite. See e.g. Christopher Swan's note from April
4 on R-sig-Mac.

(This sort of issue tends to be slow to fix. We need to have a developer who can
reproduce the issue _and_ is capable of debugging Mac GUI code.)
