Dear list,
For quite a while, I haven?t been able to use the edit() or fix() functions on a data frame without R crashing instantaneously. I am running OS X El Capitan, I have the newest versions of Xcode (7.2) and XQuartz (2.7.8). I just installed ?Wooden Christmas-Tree", hoping that this problem ? which has been bothering me for about a year perhaps, but seemed avoidable enough -- will go away with the new version, but it persists.
Unfortunately, I cannot paste an exact error message because the new R version does not produce one, it just freezes indefinitely. The freezing happens AFTER the data editor window popped up correctly. When I try to close it, everything comes to a standstill. With ?Smooth Sidewalk?, I would usually get something along the lines of ?memory not mapped? and then the usual options 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled), 2: normal R exit etc.
This problem does not occur when using edit/fix on simple vectors or strings, it?s just when the data editor gets evoked for a data frame/matrix edit that everything goes down the tubes.
Could somebody please help point me in the right direction? Sorry if I am overlooking something obvious. I googled around, searched on mailing lists many times and tried different solutions that were offered for similar problems, but I can?t seem to get it done correctly.
