data.frame[1,1]<- differs from data.frame[[1]][1]<- (PR#403)

[jens.oehlschlaegel-akiyoshi@mdfactory.de]

I observed the following difference:

> ddd <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=1:3)

# assignment of 'X' silently ignored
> ddd[1,1] <- 'X'
> is.factor(ddd[[1]])
[1] FALSE
> ddd
  a b
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3

# assignment of 'X' not ignored
> ddd[[1]][1] <- 'X'
> is.factor(ddd[[1]])
[1] TRUE
> ddd
  a b
1 X 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
