warnings --- wish/bug (PR#1148)
This is difficult. The internal warnings should work as often as possible without doing memory allocation, which might provoke an error (*and* we try to print out warnings after a memory allocation error). So strwrap is a no-no internally. I've not seen warnings that are not wrapped by the console (on Unix) or are scrollable (Rgui). Can you give us an example of the problem? Incidentally, I think you want to strwrap the ... too.

When R prints warnings, they often go "out of the line", it would be
better if they where wrapped with
writeLines(strwrap ...
I tried to do that , changing the function warnings, but it has only
effect when called explicitely, not when R prints the warnings unasked.
Anyhow, here is the changed warnings:
warnings <-
function (...)
{
if (!(n <- length(last.warning)))
return()
names <- names(last.warning)
cat("Warning message", if (n > 1)
"s", ":\n", sep = "")
for (i in 1:n) {
out <- if (n == 1)
names[i]
else paste(i, ": ", names[i], sep = "")
if (length(last.warning[[i]])) {
temp <- deparse(last.warning[[i]])
out <- paste(out, "in:", temp[1], if (length(temp) >
1)
" ...")
}
writeLines(strwrap(out), ...)
}
}
