[R] graphic problem: transparent window when starting mtrace() from package debug

Deal R
,


when I use the package debug, mark a function with mtrace() and enter 
into the browser like mechanism of debug a window displaying the code of 
the marked function with the current line highlighted usually appears. 
When I use GUIs other than ess or the standard R console sometimes this 
window is totally transparent so it is not possible to see any code in 
it. After closing/resizing the window this error sometimes dissapears 
but I could not find any systematic behaviour here. The problem occours 
when I use Eclipse/Statet or Notepad++ as a GUI.

Does anybody have any ideas about the possible cause of the problem?


Thanks for your help
