Hi Jeff - thanks. I forgot to add originally that I use putty as a terminal for the old version of R I mentioned as well as the new, and also I can see the same issue with the new version of R when run in xterm. I’ve messed with some of the options putty offers and it doesnt change the new R behavior. Also this behavior does not occur at the shell prompt, or in other prompts, like interactive python. So while I agree that it doesnt seem like an R issue on the surface, it only happens in R as far as I can tell!
