Thanks so much for the information, Simon! Glad to know it is just not me…
It was indeed ill-advised of me to upgrade the Operating System so soon. But,
by bitter experience do we near ever closer to saintliness…
Thanks very much, again!
Cheers,
Des

Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] How can I stop my R console and other R windows
"flickering" after I updated my Mac OS to Sonoma 14.0?

Desmond,
thanks for the report. There seem to be windows focus issue in Sonoma so I
would not recommend upgrading at this point. Hopefully this will be fixed in a
future macOS update (the .0 versions are notoriously flaky) - in the meantime
I'll see if there is any work-around we could do in R.
Cheers,
Simon
