Hi all -- I don't seem to be able to copy blocks of text from R.app anymore. In the past, I was able to hold down the alt/option key while I selected a column of text with the mouse. Now the selection reverts to a single line when I release the mouse. I'm using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) GUI build 1.51 on OSX 10.6.8. Thanks in advance for any input, suggestions or confirmation. And thanks as always to the folks who keep improving R.app. Holly

I noticed the same disappointing change in GUI console behavior. I used to be able to select the leftmost column that had all the ">"'s and "+"'s from copied console output, hit <delete>, and get good code. Now I either need to use an editor window or a bunch of keystrokes.
