This actually works well on the terminal session !! Very strange that the App GUI does not work well. I do not know if it is a general Mac problem or due to my computer settings?. 

I don't think that it could be a general Mac problem, because R.app works with the Rcmdr for me and others. At least you now have a couple of solutions.

Best,

Dear JB,

If you use the Rcmdr with RStudio, by default it will direct output to the RStudio console. You can change that, if you wish -- look at the Rcmdr options in ?Commander.

Also, have you tried running R and the Rcmdr in a Terminal window, as I suggested? If the problem is with R.app, then that might work too.

Peter: Thanks for chiming in.

Best,
John

I have just tried with R studio and it works ? I do not know why it does
not work with Rapp but at least I can use it now.

Thank you very much for your precious help !!

Also not seen by me on Mojave (admittedly 4.0.0 beta, which I can't be

bothered to upgrade at this point). Works both from R.app and Terminal,
and even from RStudio.

One thought is a missing font, but same font is used elsewhere is it

not?

You could try playing with generic Tcl/Tk via the tcltk package and
see if you can reproduce the problem in a simpler setting (perhaps try
the package demos?)

Dear JB,

We corresponded privately about this problem, and I suggested that you

post a message to the R-SIG-Mac list when I was unable to help you solve
it. I don't experience the problem on a Mac similar to yours, but running
macOS Catalina, and no one else to my knowledge has reported a similar
problem (with blank menus).

I do have one additional suggestion: I assume that you're running the

Rcmdr under the standard R.app GUI. Try running R in a Terminal session.
That is open the Mac Terminal, type R  at the % command prompt and then
library(Rcmdr) at the R > prompt.

Perhaps others will think of additional suggestions.

Best,
John

Hi,

I recently downloaded 4.0.0 and the Rcmdr package with dependencies (I

used to work on R2.6 on Windows).

When I load the Rcmdr package, this is what I obtain - see picture
(the drop down menu does not display). <Snip20200428_1.png>

I manage to have access to the drop-down menu only once despite 20 or

so attempts of closing and reopening R.

I have tried to:
- turn-off nap-app => same issue
- uninstall R and rebook and start again => same issue
- uninstall XQuartz and reboot and start again => same issue

For more information about my system, please find the pictures below

Did you encounter this problem before ? Is there any way you could

help me solving it ?

Thank you very much for your help,

Best wishes,


JB
