[R-SIG-Mac] Graphics in R, version 4.3.2, does not work well in MacOS

[Daniel Kelley]

For what it's worth, I also see the bug in the trial Sonoma identified as

    macOS Version 14.4 Beta (23E5205c)

which was updated today.  I'm not sure how many beta versions they have released, but so far none has led to a fix.  My guess is that they are aware of the problem and working on it, because I've seen what seem to be similar problems with text (in the mail application for example) but they have lessened in the last two or so beta versions.

As others have noted, resizing fixes things.  I tend to just use x11() though, because it's also nice and fast for images and I use them a fair bit.

Many thanks to all of those who have worked so hard on R over the years.  It's a very pleasant system, and community.

Dan.
