[R-SIG-Mac] Error message reading files in R Commander

[Jose G Conde Santiago]

Hi,

I am using R Commander in combination with RStudio. I configured RStudio to display the output on the RStudio console.

If I open a file in R Commander, then view the data file in R Commander and then try to read the same file again using R Commander, the following error message is displayed in the console and I cannot read the file with R Commander:

> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") : 
>   [tcl] bad window path name “.29”.

The message is always the same, except that the number at the end changes. Here are a few more examples:

> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") : 
>   [tcl] bad window path name ".35".

> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") : 
>   [tcl] bad window path name ".51".

> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") : 
>   [tcl] bad window path name ".56".


Initially, I thought there could be a problem between R Commander and RStudio, but I got the same error message under the same conditions when I tested using R Commander with R alone (without RStudio).

The files seem to be fine, since I can access them directly with R or with RStudio.

My computer is  an iMac (27-inch, late 2012)
MacOS High Sierra version 10.13.6.  
R version 3.6.1
RStudio version 1.2.5001
R Commander version 2.6-0
XQuartz 2.7.11

Thanks.
