I don't know if this is a bug. I can reproduce the following on Ubuntu
12.04.2 and 13.04 64-bit with R version 3.0.1 and with r63479. There
is no difference if R is patched with the fix for PR#15407 or not,
although without the fix there are more ways to trigger this.
I can reproduce with the following:
1. Open R in gnome-terminal or xterm
2. Run 'library(tcltk)'
3. Run 'trace(tk_select.list, edit = TRUE)'
and put "browser()" at the beginning of the onOK body (e.g. in Vim run
<<:g/onOK/put ='browser()'>>). That is, transform
onOK <- function() {
res <- 1L + as.integer(tkcurselection(box))
cat("res is: ", res)
ans.select_list <<- choices[res]
tkgrab.release(dlg)
tkdestroy(dlg)
}
to:
onOK <- function() {
browser()
res <- 1L + as.integer(tkcurselection(box))
cat("res is: ", res)
ans.select_list <<- choices[res]
tkgrab.release(dlg)
tkdestroy(dlg)
}
4. Run 'install.packages()'
5. Double-click on a package
R becomes unresponsive and I have to kill it.
