Hi list, when typing a function name and then an empty set of parentheses, such as ls(), if the () are typed very quickly the command window spews a couple lines of red stuff with several NSthis and NSthat, then makes a line that looks like ls()( -- with the extra parens -- and processes no further typed input. The app must be quit and restarted in order to get unlocked from this stuck mode.

could you, please, send us the "NSthis and NSthat" - without doing so your report is pretty much useless. Also you may try to run the build 1564 or later as there were several important changes wrt to argument lookup and code completion. What computer do you use?

Did you try to press <Esc>? That can usually help ... Cheers, Simon
To follow up on the topic - it seems the problem appeared on slower machines with builds before 1564. The current nightly build (1574, see http://www.rosuda.org/R/nightly/ ) is reported to not feature that problem. Cheers, Simon
