[R-gui] Something odd about Windows GUI with the menu command
Hello, This is not a question for R-SIG-GUI (Graphical User Interface), isn't it? You may get answer, or not. If not, I suggest you redirect this question to R-Help, or directly submit a bug report if you think this is a bug (but you should first try this with the latest R 2.6.1). Best, Philippe Grosjean

Dear R-sig-gui, I'm using R 2.5.1 for Windows. Here's an interesting one (perhaps!): If I have the Console window about 80 characters wide, I can do the following commands:
a=c("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
menu(a)
1: Jan 2: Feb 3: Mar 4: Apr 5: May 6: Jun 7: Jul 8: Aug 9: Sep 10: Oct 11: Nov 12: Dec Selection: 13 Enter an item from the menu, or 0 to exit Selection: 3 [1] 3
...which is pretty much what one would expect. However, if I make the Console window about twice as wide and do the same commands, I get:
a=c("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
menu(a)
1: Jan 2: Feb 3: Mar 4: Apr 5: May 6: Jun 7: Jul 8: Aug 9: Sep 10: Oct 11: Nov 12: Dec 1: Jan 2: Feb 3: Mar 4: Apr 5: May 6: Jun 7: Jul 8: Aug Selection: 13 Enter an item from the menu, or 0 to exit Selection: 3 [1] 3
My question is: where do those extra non-existent menu options come from? Thanks to anyone who has time to look at this. Toby
