[R-SIG-Mac] [R] R 3.1.2 GUI 1.65 Mavericks build (6833) freezes in Yosemite

[David Winsemius]

I can reproduce the problem but only once so far. (I never use that GUI menu option.) R hangs with a spinning disc when you choose that option from the GUI menu. It’s a MacGUI specific issue so this is the wrong mailing list. Forwarding to R-Mac-SIG.

(Doesn’t seem to be an XCode issue.)
