The display of function arguments along the lower border of the Console window now seems very erratic. If I now type

You should see

duplcated(x, incomparables = FALSE, ...)

in the bottom bar - at least that's what I get.


Am I the only one who has seen this feature become less predictably available?


You'll have to be more precise as of what you see .... Since the console essentially just evaluates capture.output(print(args(...))), you can obviously break it by any R code that changes the behavior of the pieces involved. But then I don't know why anyone would to that ... ;)

The display of parameters seems to be reproducibly inhibited after backspacing or selecting and deleting a function name that had an argument list displayed. If I type "duplicated(", and then see an argument list , then backspace over it and hit <enter> and then type "duplicated(" again, I see no arguments. I did discover by accident that I sometimes get back the desired behavior after typing sessionInfo(). I will generally get display of arguments from other functions after that, but "duplicated" seems to be blanked out until <something happens to make it recognized again>.


Cheers,
Simon
