Multiple macintosh() graphics devices (PR#1318)
(I'm actually on OSX and rel 1.4.1 of R but) it is normal that an inactive window is not activated by mouse clicking. Mouse clicking put only the windows in front of the others (and it is activated as a window but not as a device). To activate the "device" linked to a window you can use the menus, for example, once you have put the window in front. I'll investigate what is happening under OS 9.1 because under OSX I cannot reproduce the problem. thanks for spotting this. stefano

Full_Name: David Orme Version: 1.4.0 OS: Mac OS 9.1 Submission from: (NULL) (155.198.17.121) R crashes (politely and without further repercussions) with a type 3 error under the following conditions: Open more than one macintosh() graphics device:
macintosh() macintosh()
and hence there are two devices...
dev.list()
Macintosh Macintosh
2 3
..with device 3 active.
Selecting device 2 with the mouse brings that device window to the
front but
does not make it active - although the device name in the window title
bar
flickers briefly to active and then back to inactive. Closing the
inactive
device (2) by mouse clicking on the close box causes the crash - I've
replicated
this six or seven times successively on my G3.
Using dev.off(2) behaves as expected.
