It is quite tempting to start simple data entry sessions where you need to type in the data like this: my.frame<-data.frame(a=numeric(0),b=numeric(0)) fix(my.frame) (and if factors are involved, that is pretty much what you'd have to do in order to get the appropriate levels) However, in the X version, this seems to cause the data editor to freeze as soon as one hits Enter after inserting data into the first cell. I haven't tried the Windows version yet.

Freezes the windows version as well, it seems. Also, the code for editing factors using their numeric codes seems to have been broken in 1.1.0 (only converts back to factor if there are invalid levels). I'll fix the latter. [I'm also not happy with the code that autoinserts mistyped or otherwise extraneous factor levels -- if they really are typos, they'll be a pain to remove if one used fix(my.frame)! That may be against policy to change in a patch release, though...]
