[R-SIG-Mac] stdout Phantom Text

[Robert J Goedman]

Hi Andrew,

This issue I think have been coming up a few more times. Let me make sure we're seeing the same things.

You open R.app and then create a new document in the build-in editor. That's where you type 'test1<-1:10', followed by cmd-rtn.

You now see the 'test1' show up in the console, but only after you type the '<'. For every subsequent character you type in, 'test' is added (inserted really) into the console buffer.
Even if you delete a character, 'test1' is inserted once more.

Now, if you create a second line, say 'test2<-3:6', it continues to copy whatever is in front of the '<' on the 1st line in the file.

If you insert a blank (space) before the '<' on the 1st line, the problem is no longer there. Do you see the same behavior?

Maybe inserting a blank on the 1st line can be used as a workaround for now?

Its quite an irritating little thing that I am sure has something to do with other programmes on my machine (I am using PERL, GNU parallel and various other unix software for genomics work (like samtools and requirements, etc). Short of deleting all of that stuff, I wonder if there is a way to see the activity.....
