RGUI crash when opening script in XP Home enviroment

7 messages · Knut Krueger, Brian Ripley

If  there is a helpfile open (f.e ?glm) and it is the top window, then 
an exception error occurs (closing RGUI)
when I hit the open file button.
If the helpfile is not the top window (of the RGUI) I am able to open a 
new script without any error.
The RGUI is not closing complete there is a blank screen left which I 
have to close with the X Button or Taskmanager

Windows XP Home - German Version updates installed.

R-Version 2.1.0

If there you need any further details please ass for.

This is not the place to report reproducible faults: please see the
posting guide and send a complete bug report to the appropriate place.
(Let alone three followups from Duncan Mackay!)

However, as I don't know what the `open file button' is, I cannot
reproduce it.  Is this MDI or SDI mode, and if the former is this using
the icon on the toolbar, whose tooltip says it is `open script'?
                                                         ^^^^^^
What did you expect that to do?

Please make clear in your report if this one or two problems, i.e. is the 
`not closing completely' only after the error?

This looks like yet another problem caused by adding the script editor, 
since prior to that there was pager toolbar.

Thank??s for the hint I sent the error (including the following url) to 
the Bug tracing system, but I also thought that the user here should 
know how to prevent the error.
I lost a lot of time with rewriting scripts which were not saved before 
I opened a new one until I realized the reason of this.
Sorry about this, but I don not know the difference and I do not know 
what the shortcuts are standing for
Yes this one but not the 'file -> open script' 
line
The report with screen prints is available (I'm sorry that it is a 
German operating system):

I hope this is clarifying the open questions

Yes, that was it (it had been told the pager was an editor).  Now fixed in 
R-patched and R-devel.
