[R-SIG-Mac] error stream getting unworkable.

[Timothy Bates]

Hi Simon,
Hope all’s well.

Looking at RController.m and the "fixBuggyOutput" function

It seems to me candidates for adding to this list (assuming it can’t be fixed)

I’m getting a lot of "Could not create system idle sleep assertion”
e.g. 2022-08-07 20:19:30.010 R[3196:92038] *** -[_NSActivityAssertion _initWithActivityOptions:reason:expirationHandler:]: Warning: Could not create system idle sleep assertion (-536870211)

I’m also getting output from menu short cuts.
e.g. "cmd-opt-L” (clear console) generates this:
        Located match from cache: item 'Clear Console' in menu 'Edit' with match penalty 0
        Choosing result from list: item 'Clear Console' in menu 'Edit' with match penalty 0

and cmd-C (copy) generates this.
        Located char match from search: item 'Copy' in menu 'Edit' with match penalty 0
        Choosing result from list: item 'Copy' in menu 'Edit' with match penalty 0
        Marking command key cache valid

So adding those would help a lot.

I can’t believe it but zero forks of the app on GitHub… Oh well There’s one now :-)

Given none of us were aware of it, I think promoting it would be helpful.
Perhaps aa a line to the startup in R.app saying "Contribute at https://github.com/R-macos/Mac-GUI”  ?

If OS bugs can be reproduced, they can be sent in as bug reports to Apple, the more copies the more likely they fix it.
ACTION: If they are MacOS bugs, we can each report them to Apple and quote the Radar # to let them become aware of these.
Any Radar #s?
