First of all, it's not a bug. Please don't report bugs before
bringing up the "issue" on r-devel. FYI, there are people (not me),
who have to go through all bug reports, tag them, and clean them out
manually.
If you do print(write), your concerns are answered:
function (x, file = "data", ncolumns = if (is.character(x)) 1 else 5,
append = FALSE, sep = " ")
cat(x, file = file, sep = c(rep.int(sep, ncolumns - 1), "\n"),
append = append)
<environment: namespace:base>
You could also have inferred that from reading help(write).
Now, why there is this default rule for writing non-character values
in 5 columns I don't know. There must be a historical reason for this
design.
