cpu usage high with windows change dir / winDialogString (PR#11045)
I did a few other places where askstring() is used, e.g. Help / apropos... and friends. No problem Duncan if you decide not to fix. It's one of those "it'd be nice if it was fixed - but it's not a problem if it doesn't" bugs... :-) and now that I have a modern (i.e. 5 year old Linux machine) at home I'm no longer reliant on the ancient laptop for everyday use! All the best, Sean

The Change Dir dialog in R 2.7.0 no longer uses the winDialogString()-like dialog, so the problem will go away in that one case, but any other user of the underlying code will still have the problem. It's because that function sets up a loop to poll for results. Doesn't really seem worth the trouble to fix. Duncan Murdoch
