[Rd] Rgui 3.5.0 print issue

[Diego Zardetto]

Dear all,

 

I would like to have your opinion about an issue I have recently run into
while using tcltk in R 3.5.0 under Windows 7 64bit.

 

Here is a reproducible example of the issue, along with information about
platform and OS.

 

###############################################################

# R 3.5.0 issue: print does not work properly for data.frames #

#                when called from a tcltk window.             #

#                                                             #

# NOTE: The issue shows up when using Rgui, but disappears    #

#       if Rterm is used.                                     #

#                                                             #

# NOTE: The issue starts with R 3.5.0, and is still there     #

#       in R 3.5.0 patched build for Windows, as well as in   #

#       R-Devel.                                              #

# Reproducible example

library(tcltk)

data(cars)

win1 <- tktoplevel()

butOK <- tkbutton(win1, text = "OK", command = function() print(cars))

tkgrid(butOK)

# NOTE: Upon pressing OK, the rownames of cars are not printed on 

#       screen, but end up into R's prompt.
