It either crashes when I try to navigate from folder to folder within the open file interface, or upon selecting a file. This has been the case for several updates of macOS, and through several versions of R and across two computers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the R app, R, and the various suggested tools for Mac OSX.
I am experiencing much the same problem, on macS 10.13.3 (17D102) with R.app GUI 1.70 (7463 El Capitan build), R version 3.4.3.
R.app hangs when I try to open an existing file through any avenue. I can open a new document and paste content into it from TextEdit, so that is now what I do every time I want to run or edit an existing R file – rather inconvenient.
I am a Mac developer, familiar with Xcode, and am happy to work with somebody on this problem if there is difficulty in reproducing the bug; it happens 100% of the time for me.
If I do “sample R 10” in Terminal after the app has hung, I get the following output for the thread that is hung. This is a very weird backtrace; note the 0x0 in the middle of it, following sigactionSegv. Maybe R.app is installing a signal handler, and a segfault is happening inside NSTypesetter, and then things go south from there? I have no idea. :->
