Quartz copy/paste bug?
Yep, me too. I see the problem when I do a print > save as pdf. Random bits of GUI elements, especially directory information, appear in the pdf images. Good news is, I have workaround. Try hiding all other windows (R > Hide Others) or closing all other windows. Seems to help me. Hope the developers sort this out soon. - Jason

Dear all - I too have experienced this. While I don't know what causes it, I do know that using dev.copy2eps() and then opening that file in preview (translates eps to pdf) never causes the trouble. cheers andrew On 8 Mar 2006, at 19:54, Simon Urbanek wrote:
Demitri, I have encountered this bug occasionally, but very rarely. The problem is, I didn't figure a way to reproduce it consistently. I was fiddling around with Quartz locking etc., but without reproducible example, it's almost impossible to fix. If you or anyone else could come up with a way to reproduce this behavior consistently, it would be great. Please let me know if you have a way for this to appear more often - I'd appreciate that.

Hello, I have been encountering an intermittent (!) problem when copying from an R quartz window and pasting into another application. Often it works without a problem, but sometimes one of two things will happen: - If the quartz window I am copying is active, the full (rounded) text field that displays the current working directory is superimposed on the pasted plot. It is in the lower left corner (not flush against the corner, but in that quadrant). Also, the text field in flipped both vertically and horizontally. - If the quartz window being copied is not active, another image, again flipped as above, is overlaid onto my plot. This time, the region of the title bar that contains text is what is there, but not necessarily from the window I am copying from. For example, the active window in my case now is device 4 (title is "Quartz (4) - Inactive") and the text in the object in the pasted image is "Quartz (3) - Inactive", although device 3 is actually labelled "Quartz (3) - Active". And actually, as I was creating plots to recreate this behaviour, I was able to get both images superimposed onto the same pasted image. I am attaching this image since it contains both overlays, but usually I get one or the other. When I have seen this in the past and have needed to "clean up" the image, I copy and paste into Illustrator. There, it was a simple matter to remove the text fields by selecting the objects and just deleting them. This tells me that they are indeed composited onto my plot. Finally, I just closed the original window I created the plot in, replotted, and the overlaid images went away. A second copy/paste, and it reappeared. Anyway, has this been seen before? Is it a known bug, or is it just me? Cheers, Demitri <pastedGraphic.pdf>
