But the GUI *is* part of the R 3.2.0 release so, yes, it was a bug in R 3.2.0.

You can always fetch either the GUI or R from the nightly pages. Since you knew it's the GUI, you could simply take the updated GUI from there. But if that doesn't fix it, you still have to get the full R since it may be an interaction of both.

All am I asking is for people to test the betas/RCs since we typically get reports only after the release which is simply too late to do anything about it.
