Problem with cut and paste corruption
Dear All We have noticed a problem when cut-and-pasting a largish section (> 4096 bytes ?) of R code from an editor to an R session. System is Fedora 12 i386 with updates, R-2.9.0 and R-2.10.1 at least. Problem disappears if you start R with --no-readline ! If happens independently of the editor (tried vim/kate) and the terminal (tried konsole/gnome-terminal) Could you please try and reproduce the problem and see if it is limited to Fedora (Windows XP seems to work fine) ? I've attached a 5K data file aids.R from the gss package which seems to trigger the problem. Just load aids.R into an editor and cut-paste into a fresh R session and you should see something like: ... + "224", "2 + "233", "234", "235", "236", "237", "238", "239", "240", "241", Error: unexpected numeric constant in: ""224", "2 ...
