The session freezes so that I can no longer click on any windows within the R session -- including other scripts that are open or the R console. (I hear the "ding" sound when I try to click on anything.) I have looked at the Task Manager on the computer and R is still running (and is still responsive according to the Task Manager), but I cannot do anything within R. I have tried pressing Esc and that does not help.

I have sometimes seen symptoms like that when an open file dialog gets
hidden behind another window. R is waiting for the dialog to complete,
but since it is hidden, it never does. Generally it pops up eventually;
I'm not sure why it is allowed to be hidden at all.
