hangs under Yosemite redux

Carl Witthoft 
Back to that question of the gui hanging at commands like "Save As" I 
brought up a few weeks back.   Someone posted a similar question to SO 
and someone else posted the following claim:

"Apparently, this is a bug in R's GUI. Some OS X features/libraries that 
used to be in place in earlier versions of OS X have been removed in 
Yosemite.

You can work around this bug by running R from the terminal / command 
line. Fire up the terminal app (quickest way is to use Spotlight search: 
cmd+space -> terminal), and type the following command:

/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R
"

Is this possible? rational?  I don't know how Yosemite cranks up an 
executable, so have no idea how booting the R-executable directly might 
differ from a Finder double-click.

What I did find is that the Terminal window gives me the following warnings:

"

(cancelButton) outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or 
instance variable

outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable
"
