Googling MDI gives a wikipedia entry in the first place which should explain things.

Thanks for this. Can you please explain me what are those MDI and SDI and the diff in laymans language?

Not really.  Just try them both, the differences are obvious.

It sounds as though you are using Windows, and running R in
MDI mode. tcltk doesn't work very well in this mode.  You really
need to shrink the MDI frame and move the tcltk window outside of it, or
run in SDI mode, where all windows are more or less equal.

You can select SDI mode by putting --sdi on the command
line, or from the Edit|GUI preferences dialog.
