[R-SIG-Mac] EXT: Continuous loop when using R on MacOS Sierra with 3.4.4 GUI 1.70 El Capitan build (7507)

Mon Mar 19 15:09:56 CET 2018

Andrew, this sounds like a bug in one of your input managers - it’s unlikely coming from R - see R for Mac FAQ 10.4 about it. You may want to remove that IM or durable stderr forwarding:

Cheers,

It makes R unusable because any output I produce from any R commands just gets lost amongst the continuous stream of red messages. There's no clue at the top of the console - it just looks like this:
