[R] Bug in identify() ?

[Rolf Turner]

If I execute, e.g.

> x <- round(runif(20,0,1),2)
> y <- round(runif(20,0,1),2)
> plot(x,y,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1))
> identify(x,y,n=1,plot=F)

then I get the index of the identified point printed in the
command window, and ***initially*** the index is NOT displayed
in the graphics window (which is the behaviour I had hoped
and expected to obtain by setting ``plot=F'').

BUT THEN if I lower and then raise the graphics window, poof!!!
the index appears, unwanted, in the plot.

I think a workaround is to issue the identify command
as

> identify(x,y,n=1,col=0)

but still, shouldn't the function work as advertized?

P. S.  I'm sending this message to r-help rather than submitting
a bug report, because when I previously tried the latter I was
met with a deafening silence, and I'm not at all sure that my
bug report got through --- I ***thought*** I had the address right,
and the message didn't bounce .....
