Hi: When I try to run update.packages() and double click on the last option (HTTP mirrors), I receive the error message: Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj")
While I can reliably reproduce the error, if I double click quickly enough (decreased time between the two clicks) the error doesn't appear, so it may be that the menu is receiving two clicks, very close together instead of a double click causing it to fail. update.packages() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") : [tcl] grab failed: window not viewable. > traceback() 12: structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") 11: .Tcl.objv(.Tcl.args.objv(...)) 10: tcl("grab", "set", ...) 9: tkgrab.set(dlg) 8: tcltk::tk_select.list(choices, preselect, multiple, title) 7: select.list(choices, multiple = FALSE, title = title, graphics = TRUE) 6: menu(m[, 1L], graphics, httpLabel) 5: .chooseMirror(m, "CRAN", graphics, ind, useHTTPS) 4: chooseCRANmirror() 3: contrib.url(repos, type) 2: available.packages(contriburl = contriburl, method = method) 1: update.packages() Additional information: If I run update.packages() in the same R session after receiving the above error, in addition to the normal menu with title "HTTPS CRAN mirror", a smaller, empty menu appears with the title "HTTP CRAN mirror". Thanks.
