similar to: Windows installer text bug (PR#13445)

I can reproduce this in MDI. Another clue is that as the pager for ?merge is opened, the font in the console changes. The console is still working: commands you type in it are accepted. So the issue appears to be that the font in use has been changed incorrectly (and it seems that the C code thinks it has been changed in the preferences dialog).

Dear r-devel list members, I find that adding --sdi to the Target field in the short-cut for R is ineffective in R 2.3.0 beta for Windows (version/platform details below). Setting MDI = no in the Rconsole file works, however. It's probably a bit late to request this for version 2.3.0, but it would be nice to be able to select either the SDI or MDI in the R Windows installer. Regards, John

This is interesting: The crash does not happen if I run Rgui in MDI mode. The crash seemed to only occur in SDI.

The crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in

Hi, all: I'm using R 1.7.0 on WinXP under SDI mode. However, very often after I closed all R windows, my CPU usage was still 100%. By checking the task manager, I found there are one or several "Rgui.exe" still running and took all the CPU. I had to close them one by one manually. This happened to me with R 1.6.1, R 1.6.2 also and also on Win2K. Rememeber there was a

i don't know, whether this is a bug or it is intended: when using winedt and R together it works perfectly, as long as R is run in mdi (multiple window mode). When you switch to sdi (single window mode) winedt, sends no command at all: no history, paste, source or script. Thomas Pesl > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32

Some minor request for the R on Windows (2000) GUI version. I'm using 1.5.1 with the SDI interface. (1) When minimized, the main R window and the graphics window show as two copies of the same icon. That makes it less convenient to switch among tasks in Windows, as I often select the wrong one. Could they have different icons in the future, please? (2) I use a fixed-width Type 1 font

I'm facing this problem on R GUI version 2.10.0 on Windows Vista. I have not changed Windows settings or R GUI settings much except to change from MDI to SDI. Someone else reported this problem a few months ago: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-April/195714.html but it wasn't followed up. I'd change the settings on Preferences, but there's no help explaining the

The answer to my question was contained in http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/winedt/ReadMe , although it helped to receive the restatements that were emailed to me.

I've just committed a couple of changes to R-devel related to requests at userR about the Windows installer. The first of these affects all platforms, but I've only tested it on Windows: I added an option "quit.with.no.save". If TRUE, then the default q("ask") prompt will not offer to save the workspace. This is in response to the observation that new users who

Greetings: Using 'identify' to label points on a plot works just fine. However, when saving under 'metafile' or using the clipboard the labels dissapear. I believe it's an SDI issue. I am running last R with last Tinn-r under XP up to date. Anything I can do besides going back to MDI :-)? Thanks, Mihai Nica, ABD Jackson State University ITT Tech Instructor 170 East Griffith

Is it possible to replace the word "R Console" on the title bar (is it what it's called? It's the blue area above menu bar) with the name of the work space file you're using or loaded, so people who are runing multple R sessions at same time can identify them immediately. I'm using 1.9.0 in SDI mode. Thanks, ...Tao

A pre-release of R-0.64.1 for Windows is available at CRAN/bin/windows/windows-NT/pre-0.64.1. Since there are a lot of Windows specific changes (see below for a list), we hope that many Windows users of R will test this version and make comments. REMARK: I am posting this message on r-help hoping to reach a larger number of Windows users. But, please, replay or directly to Brian D. Ripley
