Re: [R] txtProgressBar strange behavior in R 2.12.0

2010-11-25 Thread Prof Brian Ripley

I've seen it, but not reliably enough to reproduce.

The issue is that there isn't really support for '\r' (CR) in Rgui, 
and so it was sometimes getting junk characters.


However, I think that this is probably fixed in R-patched = r53662, 
so please try an update in a day or two.

some Asian symbols. Here is a screenshot:

Hi,
I am running R 2.12.0 (windows).

example(txtProgressBar)

gives me some funny screen output with all kinds of special characters
appearing and disappearing. It's happening on two different mashines since
vs. 2.12.0. Is this a known issue?

Best,
Jalla
