I'm guessing that it is known, but if not, I can report that it also
happens on my Mac.
For instance in the 64 bit GUI using the att.research binary R ,
clicking on the doBy line in the Package Manager window brings up a
page with a link to "overview". Clicking on that brings up a black
page in the viewing window.
The other aspect of the Package Manager that does not appear
finished is the lack of any functionality of the forward and back
buttons. When using the PM for viewing documentation on packages
that are not loaded I need to return to the package index page
because the fwd and back buttons are always greyed out.
The usual shortcuts (Cmd+Left/Cmd+Right) still work. It appears that
this was in fact broken by Apple in 10.5 not by us. Anyway, this
should be fixed now.
Thanks,

I just figured that both these were rather minor difficulties, since
the overall capacities of R on the Mac are so vast. I would much
rather that the developers continue as they have been, dealing with
substantive problems like fixing rggobi/Ggobi.
... um ... I'm losing you here - I don't think that it either
substantive or a problem at least on my end ...
Thank you to all who contributed to that addition. Very kewl. Tried
to break it, er, test it with a big data set but it held up well.

Just installed the latest (3.8.1) R for Mac OS X after working for a
year on a much older version. Now, when I use the package manager and
then select a package with an overview that happens to be a pdf then
the pdf does not open up in the lower pane as it used to but only a
black pane appears. The pdf's are definitely there (as I can access
them through the vignette() utility (Bioconductor). Is this a known
bug/feature? Is it something to do with installing over prior
versions? Help!
Thanks,
