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.

I believe nobody has responded to far, so maybe this is not a
wide-spread issue. However, I have also encountered this since
upgrading to R 2.12.0 (Windows 7, 64-bit). In my simulations where I
use txtProgressBar(), the problem usually disappears after the bar
has progressed to a certain amount, but it's quite strange
nonetheless. The characters that appear are gibberish and include
some Asian symbols. Here is a screenshot:

No idea what could be causing this.

Subject: [R] txtProgressBar strange behavior in R 2.12.0
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
