Dear list members, I thought that I recalled a recent posting reporting a problem with the R data editor, but I haven't been able to locate the message in the list archive.
In any event, I can reliably cause the R.app data editor either to hang or to produce errors in a couple of ways, the first of which is easier to describe (the X11 data editor seems more robust, if limited in its capabilities): (1) Edit an empty data frame (which works in the Windows and X11 data editors): edit(as.data.frame(NULL)). (2) Edit any data frame "vigorously," adding a deleting rows and columns repeatedly. E.g., library(car); edit(Prestige). I'm using R 2.8.1 installed from the binary on CRAN under OS X 10.5.5 on a MacBook. I wonder whether anyone else has observed these problems or has an idea about how to fix them. (I'm copying Brian Ripley since we exchanged emails about this issue earlier today.)
