function hint is missing in 2.13.0
6 messages · Robert M Hirsch, Simon Urbanek, William Revelle +2 more
Can you, please, be more specific as of what you expect to see and what you don't see? The hints work just fine for me. Also note that the preference setting applies to the editor, not the console (which shows hints at all times unless R is busy). Cheers, Simon

Simon, Robert is referring (I suspect) to those wonderful hints at the bottom of the console window that tell what the function parameters are. Yes, hints work fine on most of my machines, but do not on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 that I recently installed in my lab. (I am at home and can not do a sessionInfo on my lab machine right now.) For me, the hints line flashes when R is first loading and then is never to be seen again. This happens on the iMac for 2.13.0 as well as 2.14.0 and with RGui 1.40 and 1.41 (this is from memory).

The ones that used to change each time you type "(".

It's also happening as described by Bill on an OSX 10.5.8 machine with
R version 2.13.0 beta (2011-04-04 r55296) running with the R64 GUI
that came as a bundle from the att.research site. I figured I had
forgotten how to set an option. I just tried with the 32 bit GUI and
get the same lack of earlier behavior (.... display of argument list
at bottom of GUI window when function name is followed by "(". at the
command line) . And tried with the terminal version and it doesn't
have the grey border so there would have been no place to display that
information.

Hi, this was a bug in the regex engine used by R.app for MacOSX 10.5.x (32bit). We fixed it in the devs. Thanks a lot for pointing it out, --Hans
