From: pascal.grandeau@wanadoo.fr Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 17:56:13 +0200 (MET DST) To: r-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: R with Windows 95 (PR#271) CC: R-bugs@biostat.ku.dk X-Loop: R-bugs@biostat.ku.dk Full_Name: Pascal GRANDEAU Version: 0.65.0 OS: Windows 95 Submission from: (NULL) (164.138.103.253) I downloaded the new version of R and I see a little bug with Windows 95. If I plot anything and then I call the menu Windows/Tile, this works but when I continue to work after a certain number of input (near 10) the cursor disapear and I cannot continue. This happens also if I change the dimensions of the windows.
Let me be clear, since there are lot of possibilities. You are using Rgui.exe in mdi mode? Have you changed any options in Rconsole? At some point the cursor disppears: do the menus still work? Can you still move the windows?
I don't see the same bug with version 0.64.1.
You are commenting on a preliminary release, which as the announcement says, has not been tested extensively; in particular I have no access to Windows 95, and very little to Windows 98 (but Guido Masarotto has to both). I cannot reproduce this under NT, but I may not be guessing right what you did. Unfortunately, I suspect a problem with Windows event handling, and that is very version-dependent. Please try the official release (when it comes) and report again if the problem persists. Guido does use a different compile environment from mine. I have managed to track down two problems (DEL did not work, no printer chooser appears) both of which are due to errors in header files in the compiler I used and have been fixed in the current version (you only need the new rw0650b.zip dated Sept 7). Given that history, I am quite ready to believe that there are more of the same.
