[R-SIG-Mac] quartz hanging

[Stephanie Evert]

I hope this is more readable as a regexp (for me your |-delimited blocks show up as a single line of text so it's very difficult to figure out which commands I'm supposed to execute).

	plot(1:2)
	# press Cmd-P in quartz window → works
	library(kableExtra)
	# press Cmd-P in quartz window → error, hangs, options(error=browser) doesn't help

The first lines were just intended to show that kableExtra is actually the culprit – which is not quite true. The real cause of the error seems to be the xml2 package imported by kableExtra.  I get the same problem with this sequence

	library(xml2)
	plot(1:2)
	# press Cmd-P in quartz window → error, hangs, options(error=browser) doesn't help
	
I have reproduced this on MacBook M1Max, macOS Sonoma 14.7.6, R 4.5.1 RC (2025-06-05 r88292) in a command-line session, so no Emacs/ESS involved.

Best,
Stephanie
