[R-SIG-Mac] arguments lookup is disabled while R is busy

[Brandon Hurr]

Simon,
Wires crossed methinks.

I took a photo (imgur link in first message). In it you can see the
bottom of the editor window which says, "(arguments lookup is disabled
while R is busy)". While in the GUI window, it is the prompt ">". When
I switched to the GUI window, it would say that in the bottom of the
GUI window. The hints and autocomplete weren't working.

My point is that it wasn't busy doing anything and yet it insisted it
was. I closed and reopened R a few times and nothing changed. Then I
went to Rstudio, in which the code hints and autocomplete was working.

After a few reboots, it no longer does this and I can not get it to
reproduce using similar code ( I no longer have the original code I
was working with because I changed it too much).

The only thing I can think of is that during this session, I updated
from R 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 and also updated a lot of packages. Perhaps a
reboot was in order?

Sorry for the noise.
Brandon
