Hmm, I couldn't reproduce this with Fedora 2.6.1 nor 2.6.2 RC 44192. I
take it this is not a very recent thing?
It sounds like an event loop mixup, like the BadWindow issue that some
people see sometimes. Some kind of callback getting lost?
Hmm, I do actually see something like it when _resizing_ the window:
> Error in grid.Call.graphics("L_text", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, :
REAL() can only be applied to a 'numeric', not a 'char'
In addition: Warning message:
In grid.Call.graphics("L_text", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, :
supplied color is not numeric nor character
