[R] trouble printing from graphics device in R 2.7.2

[Jenny Drnevich]

Hi,

I've been using R for many years and have always tried to keep my R 
version up to date, and when I switched from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 I'm 
suddenly having trouble printing from the graphics device. I have 
Windows XP, and installed both versions of R from the binaries. If I 
start 2.7.2 and simply do:

 > plot(1:10)

the default R Graphics Device window opens as usual. However, when I 
use the menu in that window to File -> Print, the graph that is 
printed is cut off below ~2 on the y-axis and ~10 on the x-axis if I 
don't resize the Graphics window; resizing the window bigger does 
result in more of the graph printed, but it's still cut off on the 
y-axis. Everything prints fine in R 2.7.1 (sessionInfo()s below), and 
all other versions of R I've had on this exact same computer for the 
last 3 years printing to the same printer, which is why I think it's 
something with R 2.7.2. I even tried un-installing and re-installing 
2.7.2, but the problem persisted. Using the menu to save the graphic 
in various formats seems to work fine - the entire graph is visible 
in the .png, .pdf, etc. files. I didn't see anything in the changes 
or the archives about this... so what's going on and how do I fix it 
so I can continue to use 2.7.2?

Thanks,
Jenny
