I'm not able to reproduce this in 2.15.2 running R.app GUI 1.53 (6335) in Snow Leopard, but in an earlier session I did observe the ghost-text phenomenon. In my case it was a column of numbers interrupted by the name of a dataframe that did not happen to be loaded at the time, but was referenced in an source document that was being edited using the GUI facilities. -- David Winsemius, MD Alameda, CA, USA _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
