Subject: [Rd] R crashes when resizing windows (PR#2992)
Message-ID: <200305131147.h4DBlN2b027538@pubhealth.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Gavin Alexander
Version: 1.7.0
OS: Win2000
Submission from: (NULL) (130.209.6.40)


When I resize the R-GUI console window by dragging an edge and drag for more
than a second or two, R crashes. The program exits, leaving a pop-up "Program
Error" box with the message:
"Rgui.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
 You will need to restart the program.
 An Error log is being created.".

I now avoid having to resize the console window by setting the default size in
GUI preferences. However, R still crashes when resizing help windows, which
don't have a user-settable default size.

I am using R version 1.7.0, but can replicate this problem in the only other
versions I have used: 1.4.1 and 1.6.2, in both MDI and SDI mode, all in
Win2000.
