[R-SIG-Mac] R editor freezes after running a script

[Fox, John]

Dear Jose,

Is it possible that you have app nap turned on for R.app, as it is by default? If so, R can appear to freeze when the its window isn't visible. If you experience the problem again, you might try turning app nap off via the Rcmdr Tools menu.

I hope this helps,
 John

I tried to replicate the crash by using R without R Commander, and I could not. I tried again with R and R Commander, and now I cannot replicate the crash either.

I was running an antivirus program (Avast) when the issue came out, which I uninstalled yesterday. This is the only change in my setup that might explain the original issue, though I am not sure.

Thanks.

José
