R 3.1.2 GUI 1.65 Mavericks build (6833) freezes in Yosemite

Hi,

I?ve the latest version of R, which I know is for Mavericks.  I?ve upgraded to Yosemite, and R is acting strangely.

R becomes unresponsive when I try to use ?R File to Source/Load?.  Since this morning, this problem was happening every time that I had a script open, but now the problem has become intermittent.  When this problem came up, I had to kill R and start again.

Now, I?ve started getting the following ?mysterious? messages, which again is intermittent.

2014-11-23 22:14:09.339 R[24870:4519960] plugin com.getdropbox.dropbox.garcon interrupted
2014-11-23 22:14:09.339 R[24870:4522129] Unable to setup extension context - error: Couldn?t communicate with a helper application.

I?ve Xcode version 6.1 (6A1052d).

I was wondering whether any of you have had similar issues, and if you?ve any solutions.  These problems seem to be random.

Thanks in advance for your time,
Bahram

Sorry, I forgot to mention the following strange message, which again comes up intermittently.

Thanks again,

I can reproduce the problem but only once so far. (I never use that GUI menu option.) R hangs with a spinning disc when you choose that option from the GUI menu. It?s a MacGUI specific issue so this is the wrong mailing list. Forwarding to R-Mac-SIG.

David:

Thanks for your response and forwarding my question to R-Mac-SIG.

What do you use instead of the GUI menu option that I?v been using?

Thanks,
Bahram
