Hi, I am running R 2.12.0 (windows). example(txtProgressBar) gives me some funny screen output with all kinds of special characters appearing and disappearing. It's happening on two different mashines since vs. 2.12.0. Is this a known issue? Best, Jalla

I believe nobody has responded to far, so maybe this is not a wide-spread issue. However, I have also encountered this since upgrading to R 2.12.0 (Windows 7, 64-bit). In my simulations where I use txtProgressBar(), the problem usually disappears after the bar has progressed to a certain amount, but it's quite strange nonetheless. The characters that appear are gibberish and include some Asian symbols.

I've seen it, but not reliably enough to reproduce. The issue is that there isn't really support for '\r' (CR) in Rgui, and so it was sometimes getting junk characters. However, I think that this is probably fixed in R-patched >= r53662, so please try an update in a day or two.
