Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -...

Hi, I have a question about the graphics changes in 2.7.0. The example is this bit of code: par(mfcol = c(2, 3)) for(i in 1:6) plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "xlab", ylab = "ylab", main = "main") In 2.7.0, if I do this interactively (using windows()), I get bold titles. If I do this through a png device, I get regular weight titles. If I do this in 2.6.2, both

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I'm using R 2.5.1, and this behavior occurs on a fresh R console. Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

I'm having a very odd problem with system(wait = FALSE). I'm not entirely sure whether it's a bug in R or a problem on our end. It's related to a post a month or so ago in R-help which got no responses, but I have a little more to add. This command works as expected (I use c:\tmp since c:\ isn't normally writable under later versions of Windows). The file is created at
