[R] The code itself disappears after starting to execute the for loop

[Maram SAlem]

Thanks for helping Jim. 

I'm actually using the pbapply function together with the print function within a loop. In earlier versions, the progress bar and the output of the print function used to appear after each iteration of the loop. But with the 3.3.1. Version nothing appears, instead the console turns white and the cursor turns blue ( busy) and I know nothing about the progress of the running code.

I just want to see the bar and the output of the print function as I used to, any help?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have buffered output checked on the GUI (you probably don't want it checked or you output will be delayed till the buffer is full -- this might be the cause of your problem.
