[R-SIG-Mac] R.app not handling events

[John Fox]

Hello Duncan

The problem may be related to macOS App Nap (although the persistence of 
the problem when R.app has the focus seems to contradict that). If so, 
you could either make sure that R.app retains the focus while the 
command executes or disable App Nap for R.app (permanently, until the 
option is changed) via the command, in a terminal,

	defaults write org.R-project.R NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES

I hope this helps,
  John
