Dear Simon et al.,
in longer sessions with real data, the console window often fills up with
output. If it is then resized, R becomes unresponsive and the OS X beach ball
of death is often seen, with some delay, for an extended period. The following
example illustrates this effect (if not, increase the numbers):
omp <- getOption("max.print")
options(max.print=2*1e6)
print(data.frame(matrix(nrow=1e5, ncol=20)))
options(max.print=omp)
This is probably nontrivial, but it would be nice if calculation of the resized
window could be faster. Maybe, only refresh the visible portion of the console
could be redrawn immediately, and the remainder be recomputed in the background?
Best, Jochen
