<br>I am having a similar issue - using the cmd-Return key combo from the script to the console often generates grey text BEFORE the prompt. 
<br>
<br>For example, below, the first test<-rnorm(10,0,1) is generated in the console, then printed by typing in the console, three times.  
<br>
<br>The fourth test <- rnorm(10,0,1) is cmd-Returned from a script, generating the new pre-prompt-text.  
<br>
<br>I can generate a variant of this behaviour at start-up of R every time.
<br>
<br>OSX 10.8.2 Macbook OR MacPro both with R 2.15.2 (64 bit) R.app 1.53 (6335).
