It is an issue with Sonoma macOS new TUI classes and not the architecture so it will affect both.
I usually hold off upgrading until the first or second patch, but I feel I should warn students in my class.
Definitely - I always tell them not to upgrade right away as major macOS versions are notoriously buggy. Ideally, you shouldn't upgrade until next R patch release since if macOS breaks something we can't fix (officially) it until the next release. Cheers, Simon

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] It turns out that is not just the graphics window that the focus problem, it is all windows. That is, opening the help window takes focus away from the console and help needs to be closed before the console window will be active. The install package window has the same problem. For each case, closing the extra window restores console functioning. I report this just so Simon can see the report. I remain in awe of the work of Simon in getting the Mac version to work so well.

But there are lots of other things R-related like emacs. I had the hardest time with emacs for Catalina and Big sur. I?m not sure but I think Monterrey was better. However, all of those issues finally went away with Ventura. This makes me extremely hesitant for Sonoma since I am finally happy now. So long story short: Apple gets there, but it can take years sometimes. The new hardware like ARM (and the titanium iPhone!) look so cool it can be very tempting to go bleeding-edge. I learned my lesson when Ventura first came out. R was not ready and neither were lots of tools that we use here at work.

________________________________ Rodney, Thanks for your quick reply. It turns out this is just a problem with the base R for Mac graphics window (which is to say, the version I like). I can still use R-studio (which I don?t like as much). I can wait patiently for a patch to the Mac version while using R-Studio. That way I don?t have to go through the hassle of trying to reinstall 13.x and dumping 14.0.

I recently updated to the Sonoma OS for Mac (14.0) and it has a serious problem for graphics. plot(1:10) creates a graphic window but I can not switch back to the console window using either command-1 or the mouse. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions for a patch? I am running a MacBook Pro with M1 Max.
