when working in the editor R crashes regularly. no other program ever crashes.
one quite reliable way to crash it is by marking some code and then pressing the
"find" command. I have had this problem with other R versions before. I have the
feeling the editor is the problem. Another problem with the editor is that I
always need to hit the carriage return twice after inserting the cursor at a
certain point, after the first time, nothing happens. Not a big problem but
probably not as it should be, and maybe a hint for a deeper problem.

Another bug: if the imported data frame contains a µ (greek mu, as in
microliter), R can't read the file.
