Hi, I am using OS X 10.8 and have XQuartz installed. I can still reproduce the errors. Do you think R for mac will correct that problem?
To make the problem clear again, if you click the "startup" under the top bar (below the "General"), the problem comes out; while if you directly click on Startup on the bar menu, it is fine.
