[R-SIG-Mac] Call to test current R 2.13.0 beta and RCs - especially new GUI features!

Wed Apr 13 12:35:44 CEST 2011

An issue I have found using with the GUI is in relation with scrolling through an R script open within the R GUI. If one opens an R script long enough to allow for scrolling and places the script window floating over any other window (including other applications), and then scrolls, the scrolling of the script window effects the windows underneath the script window. The effect on the windows behind the script window is minimal, and the scrolling must be at a slow pace.
