Bug 13937 (setRepositories() doesn't allow graceful cancellation from GUI menu) (PR#13969)
Hi, again- But I see the behavior has been fixed in the current R-devel build, so sorry for the noise, and thanks for keeping R such a great package! --Rich Calaway

cancellation from GUI menu) Hi, all- This one was moved to features&FAQ, which appears to be the "works as documented" folder, with the following note: intentional: you do need to set repositories or interrupt R. If this is true, there's still a bug, and in fact two of them: the graphical menu dialog should have no Cancel button, and the choice 0 in the text menu should send you back to the menu until you actually choose some repositories. However, there are default repositories chosen for you, and cancelling doesn't alter them, so I am not convinced that the note is true. And the original point of my bug report remains-it just seems strange to be dropped to a text menu when cancelling from a graphical menu.
