[R-SIG-Mac] Please test R 4.2.0 pre-releases

[Simon Urbanek]

Daniel,

thanks! Unfortunately, I cannot replicate it on any of my machines - I don't get any errors. Can you give me more exact details on your macOS and Mac? Do you have any input modifier apps installed?

As for the output, it is simply stderr - so something the system is printing. The GUI is dutifully showing that information to you, but you can disable that if you don't want to see it (see instructions in FAQ 10.5 [1]). Still, if there is something we can do about it, I would prefer that.

Thanks,
Simon

It then completed the word to `volcano`.  Then I typed `control-E` to go to the end of the line, and the error message appeared above where I had been typing.  As I copy-paste it here, the message ends with a box embraced by single-quote marks, but in the app I don't see the box.  (I assume it's the control-E in that box).  I don't see any other effects -- I can continue working without difficulties -- but I think it might be worth addressing an issue that prints red text, possibly worrying users.  Thanks. Dan.
