trouble printing from graphics device in R 2.7.2

Thank you! It works now. It's good to know that it was a bug and not 
something stupid that I was doing.

Cheers,
Jenny
I've tracked this down to the clipping bug fix reported in the 
CHANGES file.  There is another bug fix in R-devel that does not 
affect printing, so your first option is to use one of the R-devel 
snapshots on CRAN.

I'll move the R-devel fix to R-patched shortly, so tonight's 
R-patched snapshot should also work.

Hi,

I've been using R for many years and have always tried to keep my R 
version up to date, and when I switched from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 I'm 
suddenly having trouble printing from the graphics device. I have 
Windows XP, and installed both versions of R from the binaries. If 
I start 2.7.2 and simply do:

plot(1:10)
the default R Graphics Device window opens as usual. However, when 
I use the menu in that window to File -> Print, the graph that is 
printed is cut off below ~2 on the y-axis and ~10 on the x-axis if 
I don't resize the Graphics window; resizing the window bigger does 
result in more of the graph printed, but it's still cut off on the 
y-axis. Everything prints fine in R 2.7.1 (sessionInfo()s below), 
and all other versions of R I've had on this exact same computer 
for the last 3 years printing to the same printer, which is why I 
think it's something with R 2.7.2. I even tried un-installing and 
re-installing 2.7.2, but the problem persisted. Using the menu to 
save the graphic in various formats seems to work fine - the entire 
graph is visible in the .png, .pdf, etc. files. I didn't see 
anything in the changes or the archives about this... so what's 
going on and how do I fix it so I can continue to use 2.7.2?

Thanks,
Jenny
