[R-SIG-Mac] Can't open files in 4.0 or 4.01

[Simon Urbanek]

Thanks to all, much appreciated. Please try the latest GUI revision 7849 from https://mac.R-project.org
The issue I found so far seems to have to do with function folding in documents - which is why is actually depends on the document content - and a selector that is apparently missing in Catalina.

Thanks,
Simon
