R community,
I feel almost embarrassed to ask this question as it is strange behavior. When
I think there's a bug around R or a package I ask "Self it's not a bug what
dumb thing are you doing?"
I'm running version 2.14.2 (2012-02-29) on a Windows 7 machine using the
standard rgui
Ever since I downloaded this latest version I have been having difficulty using
the windows commands cut and paste (mostly paste) [CNTRL +V]. The problem has
gotten worse and now I can't paste at all. This is unique to the 2.14.2
version as I have no problems using paste in version 2.14.1. I can also
cut(CNTRL + c) from the gui and paste elsewhere but not paste withing the gui.
To specify neither the shortcut command CNTRL + V or right click/paste works.
This problem does not occur in other programs either.
I assumed this is a Windows problem at first (and Is till haven't ruled that
out but that the problem is specific to just the 2.14.2 gui indicates it's not
a Windows problem) and thought I had a malware that was causing this behavior.
I've run Webroot and Malwarebites in safe mode and nothing has changed. I've
rebooted R several times (which has never alleviated the problem) as well as
the computer several times (which sometimes alleviates the problem but no
longer seems to help). I've uninstalled R v. 2.14.2 and reinstalled. No
change. I tried a system restore to 2012-2-19 (and again reinstalled R 2.14.2)
and no change in behavior.
I appreciate any direction anyone can give me with solving this problem as I
use the command very frequently.
Cheers,Tyler Rinker
