Thanks to all, much appreciated. Please try the latest GUI revision 7849 from https://mac.R-project.org
The issue I found so far seems to have to do with function folding in documents - which is why is actually depends on the document content - and a selector that is apparently missing in Catalina.

Thanks,
Simon

Let me know if you need more reports or to try something else.

Brandon,

Yes, this is of great help! It shows the the GUI spins in the segfault
handler (it segfaults while rendering text which calls the R segfault
handler which in turn tries to render more text etc. ...).
So first thing is to avoid the signal handler, run this command in
Terminal:

defaults write org.R-project.R 'Disable R signal handlers' YES

Then download the debug version of the R GUI from

https://mac.R-project.org/

where it says Mac OS X GUI ... high-sierra-Debug.dmg - pick the one
matching your R version (4.0 for release or 4.1 for R-devel). You don't
need to replace your regular one, you can run it simply from the image.
Note that it is signed, but not notarized, so right-click (=ctrl-click) on
it and select "Open".

That will avoid the "hang" but will give a proper segfault with an Apple
report so won't help immediately but will make it easier to pinpoint. Also
it should include debug symbols with line numbers and all that. Please post
the crash report.

Thank you for your help,
Simon

Thanks Ben.

I fired up R did a 20 second sample as I loaded files and it went into a

hang.

Seems to have the symbols you describe. Is that more helpful?

Hi, I ran  7849 high sierra debug GUI,

and am happy to report that I had zero crashes or hangs.

I tried opening via the icon in the console window, from the File menu, 
and even by selecting a dozen "name.r" files in the Finder and hitting 
<CMD>-O .  All files opened, no problems seen.

Simon,

I can happily report the same for me after opening over a dozen R scripts
with lots of functions in them. Code folding is working fine as well.

Thanks so much for sticking with us on this.

Cheers,
Brandon
