R crashes upon changing directories, loading files, etc.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue, repeatedly, which began today.  

Example code:

load(file.choose())  ##sometimes it crashes here/ endless spinner/ other times I can get through.

or: i go up to options at the top to set wd, or select ?file? -> ?open? and it will do the same thing.

I found a page where people were indicating they had this issue, but there was no one responding with a fix.  see below:

bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14240


I am running :

R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) -- "Smooth Sidewalk"
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
On OS X 10.10

Any help/ direction is appreciated.

It seems this is not R but R.app (the separate project providing an OS X 
console: see the 'R Installation and Administration' manual).  If so, 
the only appropriate list is R-sig-Mac (see the posting guide).

It might be noted, though, that this is not the first report from someone having this sort of issue on Yosemite. See e.g. Christopher Swan's note from April 4 on R-sig-Mac.

(This sort of issue tends to be slow to fix. We need to have a developer who can reproduce the issue _and_ is capable of debugging Mac GUI code.)

Yes, it definitely is the GUI as it works just fine when I load data using a file path.  I can work around it, thankfully, but it would be great if this issue could be fixed.  I suspected Yosemite as it's given me multiple problems since install.

Thanks for the input.  Hopefully someone with that skill set might see this and the other thread you mentioned.
