Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: R v1.7.1 OS: WinXP Pro Submission from: (NULL) (130.235.2.229) bringToTop() does not work if some windows has been closed. Example: graphics.off() x11() # opens Figure 2 x11() # opens Figure 3 dev.set(2) dev.off() # closes Figure 2 bringToTop(3) # Gives an error # Error in bringToTop(as.integer(which)) : invalid value of `which' x11() # opens Figure 2 again bringToTop(3) # Works fine It seems that *all* preceeding figures k=2,3,..,K-1 have to exist to be able to bringToTop() figure K.

bringToTop() when some windows been closed (PR#3512)

We are talking about *devices* here, not windows and not figures. Also, you are on Windows, where the device is called windows(), not x11() (which is just there for back-compatibility). The argument of bringToTop is a `device number'. Unfortunately it tests this against NumDevices(), and that's not right. The test has been corrected in R-devel. As the FAQ says, please do not report guesses at the cause -- your diagnosis is incorrect (and you have only one experimental point) and misled me.
