How to know if a bug was recognised
-----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Heinz Tuechler Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 1:25 PM To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] How to know if a bug was recognised Hello! A problem with special characters seemed to me to be a bug. I sent a mail to R-windows at r-project.org concerning the problem (see below). How can I find out, if this is considered as a bug or an error of myself? Which part of FAQs or documentation did I miss to find the answer?
This will not answer your question on what is a bug or not, but if you don't know, the "R team" has kindly made a fix for this problem. What I remember from an earlier thread, this was not really due to R, but to Windows. For the latest R v2.0.1 patch it now seems to work as before/expected: R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.0.1 Patched (2004-11-27), ISBN 3-900051-07-0

Dear Developers!
Using special characters I found a strange behaviour in R

Computing Version 2.0.1 (2004-11-15), ISBN 3-900051-07-0

example:
factor1<-as.factor(c("weiblich","m??nnlich","??sterreichisch","f

"))
