Hi, under RW0.651 and RW0.091 I found
x <- data.frame(char=I(letters[1:3]), num=1:3, log=c(TRUE, FALSE, NA),
fak=factor(letters[24:26]))
x
char num log fak 1 a 1 TRUE x 2 b 2 FALSE y 3 c 3 NA z
x[1,1] <- 'a' x[1,1]
[1] "1"
x$char[1] <- 'a' x$char[1]
[1] "a"
x[1,"char"] <- 'a' x[1,"char"]
[1] "1" I have no time to go after this tonight, but it looks liks bug, doesn't it?
