Dear Adrian, As I suspected, this is not a problem specific to the Rcmdr but is rather a more general tcltk/Windows problem. The following works fine in R 1.9.1 (and before, I assume) but reliably crashes R 2.0.0 (including the latest Windows patched version on CRAN) under Windows XP Prof:
library(tcltk) top <- tktoplevel() textwindow <- tktext(top, bg="white", height=10, width=40, wrap="none") tkgrid(textwindow) Then, with the cursor in the text windows, press any Ctrl-key combination to crash Rgui.
