[R-SIG-Mac] Editor line-editing blank lines

[Simon Urbanek]

Roberto,

this is what I get:

 > a = rnorm(20)
 > a = rnorm(40)
 > a = rnorm(60)
 > a = rnorm(80)

Which is as expected. Can you send me your preferences file, please  
(it's in ~/Library/Preferences/org.R-project.R.plist)? Also please  
send me output of
Sys.getlocale()
and what keyboard setting you use as this seems to be specific to  
your system.

Thanks,
Simon
