Cutting & pasting help examples into script window

Now I'm working in 2.5.1 on a home machine also running XP. It has the same problem, and I think I finally figured it out. I've noticed that if the cursor is directly over the text, it becomes an I-beam. When hovering over the blank space around the text, the cursor becomes an arrow. Selections via the arrow almost always paste properly into a script window. Copies made while selecting with the I-beam cursor almost always fail. Regardless of how the selection is done, a paste into Notepad never fails. Copying from Notepad to a script window never fails, regardless of how the paste into Notepad was selected. Very strange! Bob P.S. almost the testing has been with the ?data.frame and ?summary examples.

Does this look like a bug? If so, is there a different way to report
it? It sounds like a bug, but I can't reproduce it. You said it is intermittent on your system. Can you try to work out the conditions that reliably trigger it? It might be something specific to your system; does anyone else see this? Duncan Murdoch
I notice the same thing, (R 2.5.0), except I can't get the example to paste correctly at all- The cursor never turns into I-beam. /Gustaf
