Dear list,
I quite often experience a delayed response when I type in the console
of the RGui of my computer. When typing a command, the text only appears
letter-by-letter on the console if I type rather slow (maximum 1-2
letters per second), otherwise it appears some time after I finished
writing the complete command. Moving back and forth in a command with
arrows keys are similarly slow if I need to correct something (which I
often have to do, given that I cannot read while writing).
Although this might sound like a minor problem (thinking takes more time
than writing when programming, and writing should anyway take place in a
proper text editor), it is quite annoying, especially when I just want
to rerun a long command after changing something at the start of the line.
Strangely, it seems that this problem starts when I open a
Word-document, and it stops when I close all open Word-documents. I do
not have any problems with other programs (including other programs from
the office package), and computation seems to run as quick as normal.
Some info about my system:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
x86_64-pc-mingw32
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252
[2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
> objects()
character(0)
And as Word seems to be connected to the problem - I am running Windows
7 Pro with Office 2007, the only Add-In to Word is Endnote (version 9).
I have turned off the instant formatting option, as it also caused some
other problems.
Does anyone have a clue how I can have a Word document open and at the
same time work with R without having this delayed response?
Best wishes,
Jon
